Best Monitor not over 1K, new ot used

I've always used flootstanders, had a pr of PSB Alphas once in bedroom, about it.
In my old age I've moved to a condo where Monitors will work. A friend just moved and left me a pr of lead shot filled English Target Stands, if I get over the hernia and don't die from lead poisoning, I'd like to try a nice little monitor for my classical and jazz obcession.Also left me a neat little Totem sub.
i remember hearing a pr of Silverline Minuets I thought were lights out, any more sugestion?

Run, do not walk, to peachtreeaudio.com and buy a pair of D5's.   They were $999, discontinued now at $599.   

The single best buy in a monitor on the market today. 

They blow the silverlines away, I've owned both (and a boatload of other monitors as well).  

Gorgeous speakers and amazing sound.   And nothing comes near them for $599.

Reference 3A DeCapo belongs in this conversation. Also, Totem has a number of models including the Model 1 mentioned above (some are slim floorstanders that will occupy no more space than monitors on stands) that also are terrific in their price range. Cheers,

While I have not listened to them, it sounds like the new Elac monitors are giving a lot of competitors in the 1k. range a run for their money. All for half that price!
