If you could wait it out you may find some very nice DIY builds under your maximum price. Some may even rival very expensive monitors found on here.
very detailed bookshelf monitor around $700 used
this theme has probably been beaten to death, but i'm shopping in the for a bookshelf speaker in the 500-800 (used) range for an office system. my room is about 10'w x 15'l x 10'h and i'll probably use a small sub. they'll be driven by an 85w/ch integrated and used 100% for rock and jazz of all types. my idiosyncratic criteria:
1. transparent, lots of detail, good imaging
2. good at low volumes;
3. unfussy about placement, as they'll be near a wall.
i've auditioned proac tablette, focal chorus/profile, sonus faber concertino, all of which have their strengths. your thoughts on any of the above, or anything else i should consider, would be most appreciated.
