Perhaps Fritz speakers? In the US, they would be at the top of the list if I were looking and half or less than your target. Other speakers too, below and within your target price and not made from the PRC.
MoFi or Harbeth (used)
I’d be grateful for advice choosing between the MoFi SourcePoint 10 or a used pair of the Harbeth Compact 7-ES 35th Anniversary Edition. My room is about 10 by 18 and I will be slightly off axis. My associated equipment is Krell KAV 250 a amp and Audio Research pre amp. I use a BlueSound Node as the source. I listen mainly to blues, jazz, and rock. Thanks very much for any advice.
