"The Dynaudio Audience 72 and 72SE (upgraded with drivers from the Countour 1.8 mkII) are front ported speakers and will fit your budget from the used market."... but they won't sound as good as the Dyn 1.3SEs.
Though the Tyler's are undoubtably quality speakers, it's usually not a good idea to change from a speaker whose sound you know you like to another line without an audition. I've wasted time/money on that.
Have you tried stuffing the ports? It's what I do with my S1.4 because I'm in a similar situation.
Another good option is to use a good subwoofer and high-pass the speakers. The Dyn 1.3SE needs a sub for the lowest octave anyway, so you can have the sub handle the freq. below 80hz, and have your dyns only work with the stuff over 80hz. This is how I have my dyns setup and it works great. I use the velodyne dd15, with room correction, etc.
