New speakers needed on a budget

Just got married, and new speakers are needed. We have a budget of $800 a pair. They need to be floorstanding. Jazz, classical, rock, and a few movies are our listening pleasures, but are never played loud. The room is all hardwoods, and is about 18 x 27. What would you suggest to get the best sound for the dollar (and I know this is not much money for the type of speakers discussed on Audiogon). We are considering the Swan's but haven't seen much feedback.

New floorstanders for less than $800 is a tough proposition.I second all previous suggestions for used speakers(I love the Quads).
Michael at STO Sound and Vision does a great job with inexpensive floorstanders(sold at deep discount).He carries Mission ,Mordaunt Short and Wharfedale floor speakers that look and sound great for much less than your max budget.Wharfedale is made by the same folks that manufacture the Quad speakers.I have no affiliation with STO.
