best speakers under $1000 for classic rock?


I am looking for opinions on the best speakers under $1000 for classic rock (Grateful Dead, Doors, etc.) and home theater. I have a 10" Velodyne (CT) sub that will be used and 90 watt Denon AVR. I currently have Polk RT55i which I am impressed with but my ears are not very experienced in stereo/HT equipment. Any thoughts.....

If you happened to have the chance, try and audition some of the older Snell (mid-90's) floorstanders(J/D/E/C). Used you should have no problem finding one for under $1000. I believe the D's are the largest that UPS would ship. (90lbs)
Therefore, try to find one locally if possible. Very nice spks. with beautiful wood veneer finishes. Great bass and I believed they all used a soft-dome tweeter (front and sometimes a rear-firing one) which should work well w/your Denon.
