Some good suggestions here already...I would add the following:
Aerial Acoustics Model 5 - excellent focus and punch, and will not cheat you on quality low end response.
Martin Logan CLS IIz - can be magical in a small room with the right amps.
Wilson Benesch ARC - very intriguing stand mount monitor at the top of your price range, used.
Energy Veritas 2.1 or 2.2 - excellent value and a very good sounding speaker, drivers integrate very well.
I am getting a pair of Green Mountain Audio Callistos next week, and would be happy to share thoughts with you on those, though it will take a while to break them in.
Happy hunting!
