Marten Oscar Duo Marten Parker Duo, although these are pricier than the Oscar you might be able to find something in the used market.

If Steely Dan had a different vocalist
Just listened to one track True Winter and the first thought that came to me was the vocals sound like Paul Simon.  Need to listen more to see where it goes.  
Have you noticed as your system improves?
Sitting here at 12:30am listening at about 45db so my neighbors don’t hate me and I can hear all the details of the songs I’m listening to.  Sometimes I even hear new things pop out of songs I’ve listened to many times listening at lower volumes l...

Congrats!  Glad it worked out and you’re happy with it!  
Upgrading to a stand alone DAC
There are a few used Denafrips Pontus II 12th units for sale at the moment.  They all are in your price range and would give you what you are looking for.  You can add the Iris or Hermes DDC later as well which uses the I2S input and increases res... 
DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC
@cleeds if you are referring to libel or slander then yes you have first amendment protections against private party suits assuming what you wrote or said is demonstrably true.   I finally see the disconnect we were having, I was speaking within t... 
DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC
@cleeds not sure what the disconnect here is.  I’ve stated that the first amendment only applies to government restrictions not private parties.  What you responded with seems to agree with that statement.    The government cannot make any law t...

@cleeds  There is much, much more to the First Amendment than that. It actually has five major pillars.  True, my comment was worded poorly, but the point is that it only applies to government restrictions not private parties.  And in this cas...

The First Amendment has no bearing here as this issue is between two private parties.  This amendment applies only to government restrictions on speech, specifically Congress shall make no law infringing it.  
Small footprint subwoofer
If you’re concerned about overwhelming bass I would unreservedly recommend the dual T5/xs then.  I have a very small listening space, maybe 10x12 and these subs do not overwhelm.   They have wonderfully tight articulate bass that is full but not b... 
Acoustic treatment ideas
GIK does have acoustic panels you can get on stands. That sounds pretty painful having to move them in and out and needing somewhere to store them.  
Small footprint subwoofer
If the Kef is more than you want to spend two REL T5/x are about the cost of one Kef. Two SVS 3000 micros are slightly more than the two RELs. The SVS at 23Hz goes deeper than the REL at 32Hz but my in room response is a good bit lower than the 32... 
Small footprint subwoofer
I have dual REL T5/x subs that I really like but, on paper at least, they likely don’t compare to the Kef.  I went with the RELs due to cost as I wanted dual subs and the Kef is about twice the cost of the REL.
