A Vandy 2w or 2wq would be my choice. Used, you might be able to get a pair of 2w's and the M5-HP crossovers within your budget. Or, you could just get the proper fixed crossovers for your amp's impedance through a Vandy Dealer for a couple hundred bucks. (I recommend Johnny R at Audioconnection- an Agon member).
FWIW, I never found Golden Ear to be the cat's meow, despite all the rave reviews.

Considering that my 2nd hand 2w's are almost 20 years old and are still working properly- I wouldn't worry about needing the warranty.

I also own the HSU VTF-2 subs. They are a nice product, but not in the league of the Vandersteen's.
