Monitor speaker recommendations


Hello all
Just looking for some of you to give me some ideas as a starting point.
I am in the market for some stand mount monitor speakers. I currently have my old PSB stratus gold i's. They are just too big for my new room. I will be driving the new speakers with Cary tube mono blocks rated at 75 w/ch.
While I realize the best method would be to audition a few, I live in a very rural area and will need to drive at least 4 hours to the nearest stereo shop, so I was hoping to get some suggestions before heading out. Budget is no more than $1,000.
Thanks all

As long as your rooms not huge I'd check out the B&W CM1, B&W 685, Paradigm Studio 10, Focal Chorus 706, Focal Chorus 806, Dynaudio Excite. Good luck. Have fun.
Agree with suggestions of Focal and Dynaudio. Others to consider:

Ascend Acoustics Sierra 1 -- read the reviews.

Vienna Acoustics -- used Haydn Grand, but not if you mainly listen to rock.

If lucky, you might find a used pair of KEF LS50 or Nola Boxer.
Have heard the Dynaudio Excite X12. I thought them to be wonderful for the price. They were driven by SS amp though. 1st version can be found under $1000, New version just released. A pair on sale here for~$850.
Any experience with the original vienna Haydn? There is a pair for sale here for $345. I am inclined to give them a try for that price. I listen to mostly jazz and vocal music, and mild rock/pop
