If deep powerful bass is not a concern, try the vandersteen 1B. I think that is what it is called. It is the one below the 2c, which IMO is even better than the 2c. You should not have to spend more than $600.
Try the Axioms. Axiomaudio.com. Quite affordable and great sounding even with non-audiophile equipment. 30 day return policy, shipping both ways. Even cheaper at the Audio Shop in Ottawa, Canada. Good luck.
I would pick up an old pair of DAHLQUIST DQ10 OR DQ20 SPEAKERS in nice shape.they may need the woofers refoamed if not already done since they used foam surrounds.these are incredible speakers that image like crazy and have a magical midrange that will put you into lala land.they are power hungry and like high current or 200watts/ch.YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY. REGARDS,RICH
The Infinity IL10 monitor has very nice measured accuracy for around $350 new. I haven't given it a full audition, but it really sounded good tonally in a brief listen. You can easily find it at a Circuit City store. The Snell K.5 MK.2 measures very well if you can find it used for around $600 - $700. Others may know of some accurate models under $1000. You should look very hard to get the most measured accuracy and good design you can.
