Need input on new speakers


Hi all, I currently have a pair of Vandersteen 1 ci+ and a Lyngdorf TDAI 1120 and I love it, but it does not shine when I listen to Rock mostly Grunge. So I'm putting a smaller room together it is about 12x12. I will be using a Rotel 1572mkii. I am in the U.S. and want to stay around $2000. I am disabled and permanently in a wheelchair so in the room I sit about 7.5 feet from where the speakers would sit. New or used does not matter, floor standing or bookshelf. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I personally am a fan of KEF speakers. They are very clean sounding with excellent reproduction capabilities.  The "Q' line is their lower end but blow blow away speakers 2 and 3 times their price. As they just released a new series of "Q"  speakers many of the previous line are on sale directly from KEF. Crutchfield, Amazon & Best Buy have them for the same price with free shipping. The Q 350 is a Stand speaker that consistently gets excellent reviews. Their tower speakers are the 550, 750 & 950. If you can spring for 950's go for it. I have the 550s with a KEF Kube 10" sub. You really won't need a sub with the 750s & the 950s sound like you are in a concert hall. 

I also think the higher end lines of POLK are great sounding speakers for the price, but all things being equal the KEFs are audiophile quality and a great bargain at the reduced prices.
