Used Avalon speakers. There are few available right now on Audiogon.
For this price range, I would recommand to have a local purchase if possible. All of the speakers you mentioned will be a large purchase in term of size, weight and money. Demo them locally and pick them instead of shipping would be most important.
Don't forget to budget for well matched speaker cables as well. Some of the speakers might require bi-wire or tri-wire.
I have demoed Dynaudio Confidence 5 speakers extensively. They are great speakers but somewhat lacking in bass extension. Maybe 35Hz in a small room. Might want to check out the new Dynaudio Contour speakers as well.
There are also a few Sonus Faber speaker in your price range that will match great with Levinson 27.
