Lucky guy!
Consider a in home trial of a larger pair of Ohm Walsh speakers, Walsh 200, 300 or 5 Series 3 or 4 drivers specifically. These are less fussy than most about placement/location and room acoustics and deliver the attributes you're looking for as well to a wide range of listening locations. For two people who want to listen together but can't both fit in the sweet spot of most conventional box designs, these might provide a very unique solution to allow multiple people to listen concurrently without compromise due to room acoustics and listening location.

Occasionally, Ohm provides new drivers in refurbished cabinets at lower cost within your price range. That's how I got the F-5s in my system.
Dynaudio, Totem, Triangle and PSB are other more conventional designs worth hearing as well if you'd just both rather snuggle together in the sweet spot. There is something to be said for that as well!
Cheers!
