Excellent Speakers for Classical Music - $2,000 USD Budget
There’s great speakers at your price point. Audition, listen to friends systems and try to get a home trial. I think Maggie’s could be enjoyable given the room size and I prefer Sonus Faber - used Sonettos could be an option.

Stratospheric audio gear prices
I don't know anyone forced to buy anything.Cost and value are different and both are conditions based.Timing, needs versus wants and a multitude of other reasons influence what is worth the cost. 
What's on your Streamer Tonight?
My default is Linn Jazz...great background music and also a nice variety of different jazz artists to get exposed to an 'unknown to you artist'
