Best Speakers under 1k for me

Thank you so much @ashoka that's the sort of "outside the box" advice I was hoping to hear. As for everyone else, I'm really frustrated because I feel like my room is responsible for my lousy sound so my (rather uneducated) assumption is that buying other box speakers is going to give me more of the same muddy, bright, headache inducing sound in a different flavor, is this a fallacy on my end? 

As far as the in wall speakers, unfortunately one of my speakers is in front of a window so that's impossible with my current setup. Is DSP perhaps the solution?

@Ashoka thank you so much, that was the sort of "outside the box" advice I was really hoping to hear. Unfortunately one of the locations they would be installed is the double pane window covering half my front wall, so not possible with my set-up.

I'm seeing a lot of recommendations for monopole speakers, I feel like my room is responsible for the muddy, bright, headache inducing sound I'm hearing currently, could switching to an Open Baffle design help?

I just feel like switching my box speakers out for other box speakers will just give me a different flavor of the bad sound I'm hearing now, is this a fallacy on my end?

Very Grateful,
Jake

Sorry for the double post, Audiogon tripped me up with an error message.

Those Dali Oberons are gorgeous though, shame their not active. Seems like DSP crossovers are the way to go nowadays.

Kef LS50w looks very tempting, and I can spend my amp budget on that.

This used one is on sale at 1,200$ slightly over your budget.

But this one will be good.
