Need recommendations on stand mount speakers

So my secondary system consists of the following:

VPI Prime TT + Nagaoka MP500 cart
Parasound JC3+
AR Classic 60 (60 watt tube amp)
Acurus LS 11 line stage preamp
Vandersteen 2ce speakers

 my room is rather small, 12 x 13 and I’d like to experiment with some stand mount 2 ways that will have a similar sound to the ole Vandersteens but more open.  

Im considering used but my brick and mortar is limited to Magnolia stores. I heard some B&W 2 ways ( not the metal tweeters, but the lower model) and they sounded nice but at $4k +/- that’s more than I’m willing to spend. 

Im thinking $2k +/-.

any thoughts?

" But are they custom tuned to your ears? Because if they are not, they will be like buyIng a pair of shoes in the wrong size"

And yet you started a thread the other day asking for recommendations for warm sounding standmounts that you want. Gee are they going to be customed tuned to your special audiophile ears? How about those custom tuned dyi's that are being worked on by or for you that you mentioned with the possible "industry secrets" built in, maybe you can just line him up for a custom tuning on those.
