need help with speakers $1200 hopefully less

Need to know more about what you're looking for sonically before making any meaningful recommendations.

I listen to Barber and Krall too, and with that music I'd especially want good imaging and soundstaging along with excellent midrange reproduction among other things. The Silverline Preludes would be a very nice option, and there's a used pair of Joseph Audio RM22s for sale that might be even better. Best of luck in your search.
