Best Monitor not over 1K, new ot used

I've always used flootstanders, had a pr of PSB Alphas once in bedroom, about it.
In my old age I've moved to a condo where Monitors will work. A friend just moved and left me a pr of lead shot filled English Target Stands, if I get over the hernia and don't die from lead poisoning, I'd like to try a nice little monitor for my classical and jazz obcession.Also left me a neat little Totem sub.
i remember hearing a pr of Silverline Minuets I thought were lights out, any more sugestion?

A pair of Proac Response 2 sold recently on ebay for under $1,000. I own this speaker and have for a long time. I would recommend you look for a pair on the used market. There are reviews available on line.

Review Excerpt:

I don't have to tell you I loved these ProAcs. As thrilled as I was with what they could do, I was even more impressed by what they did not. As antithetical to the whole hi-fi–nut syndrome as any I've heard, the ProAc Response Two is a stunning product that delivers a quality of sound most audiophile speakers only hint at. If, like me, you're sick of playing the "hot speaker of the month" game and just want to ENJOY YOUR MUSIC, leave the audionuts to their speaker-angst and audition the Response Twos. At almost $4000 with stands, are they expensive? Yes. Are they worth it? Without a doubt.

Available for about $1,000 used.

"joejoe02-07-2016 5:29pmJperry, where have seen the ProAcResponse 2 for 1k? An impressive speaker indeed. Even if I had one, if you get pick one up for a grand,  hell get another."

Prices rise and fall. That was back in 2013. None for sale at that price currently.
