See if you can find a Spendor dealer in your neck of the woods. The Spendor D-line might be the ticket!https://www.spendoraudio.com/d-line-loudspeakers/The Proac D48r is another option!https://www.proac-loudspeakers.com/html_files/Speakers.php?Ran... 
Budget Hunter: Spendor S8e vs Totem Hawk
I have owned those Spendors. They are an excellent speaker. I doubt that you would go wrong with them. If they are in good condition $1200 is a great price. Here is a review!https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/spendor-s8e-loudspeakers-1 
Phono setting and MC/MM
If it’s a high output MC there is no problem! What cartridge is it? 
Yamaha as-3000 with Denon dL-103R low output MC cartridges
The input sensitivity on the Yamaha is a low .1mv and the output of the Denon is .25 mv. It will work fine!! 
Help me complete my stereo system (Harbeth, ClearAudio Concept).
juleman,I have owned many speakers including the Harbeth C7 and M30.1. I always return to the P3, I have owned four pairs. I use mine with all tube gear. My friend uses his with solid state gear. 
Sony PS-X70 vs Kenwood KD650
Many moons ago I owned the Kenwood KD-600 armless version of the KD-650. I think the Kenwood rock tables where outstanding. I am pretty sure that the arm on the 650 was a JELCO. I think you should keep the table with the stock arm!

The p3 is a good choice for that size room! This guy likes them as much as I do! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqFIaiPT_kY 
Recommended British speakers for Creek 4330 Mark 2?
If you are set on buying a British made speaker for under a grand you will have to buy used. I have owned many Spendors and I think the Spendor 3/5 would fit the bill!

What is your budget?

Any of the Spendor classic line are historically correct. FYI: The Epos are made in China!!https://www.spendoraudio.com/classic-loudspeakers/Epos’s Epic line of speakers are designed by Mike Creek’s team in the UK. They’re made in China, of course... 
amazing video about listening, in a very special heartfelt way.
Thanks for passing that on! 
Moving up the Harbeth line
+1 @mspotAs a long time Harbeth user I have owned the M30.1, C7 and many P3s. I think the M30 is too big for that size room. There is something about the P3 that after trying the others just keep me coming back to them!https://www.youtube.com/watc... 
Floor Speakers Speakers for Movies / TV
Many moons ago I owned the ADS 810. You should take a look at the Spendor A-LINE. I think the Spendor will fit the bill in size, sound and budget!https://www.spendoraudio.com/a-line-loudspeakers/ 
What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads?
@ mdlevine1 Take a picture of the unopened boxes. That should suffice!
