I'm giving another nod for you to look at Fluance speakers made in Canada. Well built and good sounding at very wallet-friendly prices. Last year I set up a fourth listening room in my house that was a very simple analog setup -- Integrated Tube Amp, Phono Stage, Turntable, and Speakers.
I'd read several excellent reviews on Fluance components, so I took advantage of their Trial At Home offer and bought their top level turntable, the RT85 which came with an Ortofon 2M Blue Stylus (a steal at $499.99) and their Signature Model Three-Way Floorstanding Speakers (again, an incredible bargain at $799.99). Fluance offers Free Shipping and a 30 Day Free Return Policy.
That listening room has gotten a ton of use by myself and friends, and it performs ridiculously above its total investment price point of components. I use that room to prove to my vinyl-loving music friends that you don't have to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on expensive high-end gear to enjoy great sound.
Other speaker options I have used and enjoyed are Monitor Audio Silver and Bronze model floorstanding speakers and Klipsch Forte II speakers. I have seen all of these for sale in the Pre-Owned marketplace that fits in your budget. Happy hunting!
