Here are some other options to consider, I would recommend at least a small subwoofer with any of them.
Harbeth Compact 7ES-3
KEF Reference 1 (you should be able to find non-meta used within your budget)
PS Audio Aspen
I have the Compact 7s and P3ESR. The P3ESR are incredible, but they have limits. If you don't ever listen loud, that's a great option. The Compact 7s are great and can take some power and keep their composure.
