Best used speakers around 500 for clasic rock


I'll be in the market soon for some used speakers that will sound good in my lingroom which is 13'6" x 15'6" They will be tied into a carver amp & CJ PV10. I listen to southern rock, clasic rock, blues & some jazz rock. The problem I have is that there is no other place except against the short wall with no room to come out & over unless I want to move the speakers out every time I listen to my system & even then there isn't much room to move out. I listen to alot of music I record myself in a "rock" concert setting so image & soundstage are very high priorities.

I would like to upgrade amps eventualy but for now the Carver stays. Whatever speakers I do get should sound good with whatever low-budget used amp I choose in a few months. So I'm not tied into my TFM-35x for the future. I'd really like to find a used CJ under $500.00 if possible to compliment the pre.
What about my placement concerns with any of these speakers? Am I tied into the Klipsch b/c of their preference of being in a corner? Exactly where my speakrs are located now?
Yes the imaging is a concern of mine but I am kind of pinned into the corner with placement (pun intended)unless I want to move the speakers every time I want to kick back & enjoy the music. Which will also bring the speakers a little closer to my listening chair, approx 5-6 ft.
Funny you mention that, I had some old JBL's that I loved & handed down to my father after I replaced them with new ones(forget the model #'s) & hated those so I traded them in on the Polks I currently have. I don't know if they are exactly what I'm looking for. I keep hearing recommendations for Maggie's or Klipsch's & think I'm leaning in that direction.
