Speakers for Modest Tube System

About got my system where I want it, with the exception of the speakers. I do like my Madisounds AR.com and I certainly can live with them until I find a pair of speakers that let me really get into my music. Prefer something neutral, well balanced, and most importantly, musical, and is easy to be driven by my tube amp (Jolida 502A). Btw, don't feel like adding a subwoofer, so a little bass extention certainly would be appreciated. Not really interested in a super detailed, analytical type of speakers. Also like to keep the price south of a $1000 new or used. In addition, also considering maybe going vintage. Bottom line to me, is the music, and being able to get into it, without listening to the system. Btw, I have a medium/large room (16 X 23) with cathderal celings, and for musical taste, and components that make up my system, just click "system" besides my name. Suggestions appreciated, and thanks.

Appreciate everybodies suggestion, and I'm certainly going to look into some them.

Learsfool,

The Klipsch Heresey was one of the vintage speakers, along with the Large Advent, that I was interested in. Back in the '70s I always enjoyed listening to Advents, ARs, EPIs and other speakers that were known for the "Boston Sound". Matter of fact, I still have a pair of Boston Acoustic A-60s that I play ever so often.

As for "up-to-date" speakers what I've been listening to and liking is some of the monitors from Spendor and ProAc. Of course, Deja Vu Audio, carries both Spendor and ProAc, along with Jolida amps and CDP, so I've been forunate to hear these speakers on similar equipment that I also own.
