Got an itch to buy some new stand mount speakeras

Room with hardwood floors 22 x 18, opens to dining room on one side front hallway on the other. Amplification varies, currently a vintage Rotel  1060 integrated 60 per side. May upgrade as well. Moderate sound level, rarely go real loud.

Budget (used is fine) I'd like to keep it under $750 or so.

I tend to like what I call 'lively ' speakers e.g. my vintage DCM and my much missed Kan 2s. Tried JBL L1s and HLS 610s..meh.  May have been the capacitora in the 610s. Dali's sounded too thin Omegas rolled off top end too much.

Any ideas? Source is CD

 Thank you.

I’ve come to have a lot of respect for Ascend. Well run, sell direct company. I'm currently testing out the same RAAL tweeter on some Ascend towers, and so far I like the air, clarity, but no metal tweeter brightness.

Given you budget, I hesitated to share this but...here’s a used speaker that might fit the bill and you might negotiate the price down a bit:
