HELP Monitor speakers for vintage components????

I'm the original owner of a Sony TA-N 86B Amp and TA-E 86B preamp, which I am having completely overhauled by a vintage audio expert. My turntable is a Denon DP-1250 with a Technics EPA 100 tonearm and Grado Blue cartridge. The Cambridge Audio Azur 640C CD player is relatively new, as is the B&W ASW-610 subwoofer.

I'm looking for some suggestions for monitor speakers under $1000/pair that would go well with these electronics. I did own Spendor S3/5s for awhile and loved them, but they might be out of my price range.

SO....what do you thinK?

Thanks....David

Be patient and snatch a used pair of Totem Acoustic Model 1.

Thanks Schubert,
I have to respect your judgement because I have not auditioned the Dreamcatchers. Saving the extra $$$$$ will make sense provided they are that good. I used to own the Model 1's for many years and they were really, really good. Too bad I sold them :-(

Now rating the Dreamcatchers over the Magico 5's.............that's another story I will not dare to comment on :-)
