Any LS3/5A sealed type will fit the bill. Spendor 3/5r2 ,Harbeth P3ESR,etc. If you like Vandersteen you won’t go wrong with these! 
Ortofon 2M Black?
Keep your better half happy and get a better Grado! 
Phono Preamp Suggestions
I prefer a tube phono stage. I use this with my low output Grado’s. I think it would be a good match with the Soundsmith .BTW,it is as quiet than any solid state that I have used.http://www.quicksilveraudio.com/products/phono.html 
Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30?
Whipsaw,I still have them and I drive them with 70 watt tube Quicksilver amps! This review says it all!http://www.hifizine.com/2011/12/harbeth-p3esr/ 
Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30?
I have owned the compact 7 which is a ported type like the 30. I also have the P3ESR's.My room size is 20'x15'.The P3's with its smaller size and sealed woofer just blew the larger 7's away.I can't comment on the 30's but I presume they are close ... 
$800 to spend on speakers, $1500 on whole system
A used pair of Vandersteen 2C's would fit your budget!
