Best speaker choice under $1000?

I'm looking to audition some new speakers, either floorstanding or bookshelf. I listen to mostly pop, dance, r&b, little hip hop.

I prefer a speaker with excellent sound stage, transparency and detail. Which speakers should I consider auditioning? (They will be paired with a Marantz receiver).

I will second the De Capos. Detailed, revealing, sweet sound stage.

Yes Team,

It takes some time but i have seen some in the piano gloss go for under 1K

Even though the black gloss was $200 additional they seem to go for less than the red maple.

i got mine (red maple) for 1200 with stands and shipping so close to the op's price range

even if you have to pay more they are worth it.

I have driven these with a Primaluna PL2 with EL34's at 35wpc and Vista Audio I84 EL84s at 15 wpc and while different both made these speakers sing.
