I too have owned the Virgo IIs for about 5 years and to this day enjoy them a great deal. About a year and a half ago I upgraded to Verity Parsifal Encores. In my system they get everyting right plus the have a bottom end the Virgos can't even come close to matching. They just work perfectly in my 14 x 16 listening room and are very easy to place. Used these are a bit higher than your budget but worth considering.
By the way I still have my Virgos and are used in a second system, they are a great speaker espeically if you like jazz.
If you need more info please let me know.
