What vintage speaker might you use today
I've been using a pair of original Snell Type J for quite sometime now. I can't praise them enough. 
Recommendations to a small room setup
I will suggest Totem Arros for speakers. McCormack DNA .5 and a passive pre. Use any source your comfortable with and you should have a killer little setup.

Whats the best $1000 speakers
The Totem Arros are my favorite speaker in the 1k price range. Of course I have not heard everything in that price, but I don't think you can go wrong with the Totems. I have owned the Vandy 1b and I did like them but I prefer the Arros. Good luck.

Best setup for Totem Arros...
I use a Mccormack DNA-1 Deluxe and a Sonic frontiers tube pre with excellent success. I also have a VTL IT-85 that I use, however I think the Arros are better with the solid state amplification. Although, my Hawks sound better with the VTL. 
Tube Amp for Totem Hawks
