Sounds like good recommendations from you and Ellery911, although the Vandy's, while a good match, are hardly what I'd call monitors. If she wants litle boxes, it's tough to recommend anything if it has to go up against a wall, but Epos and PSB speakers are nice in that price range, particularly if they can be put on stands away from the wall.
Helping a friend put together a sub-$1000 system
She's looking for a 2-channel setup with CD as the only source. Speakers will be monitors for a Manhattan apartment.
She listens primarily to more subdued rock and acoustic stuff, with a good amount of jazz and classical music.
She's OK with buying used. I suggested she listen to a NAD C320BEE with Vandersteen speakers as per the recommendations in this thread:

$1000 is the limit. Any suggestions?
