HELP Monitor speakers for vintage components????

I'm the original owner of a Sony TA-N 86B Amp and TA-E 86B preamp, which I am having completely overhauled by a vintage audio expert. My turntable is a Denon DP-1250 with a Technics EPA 100 tonearm and Grado Blue cartridge. The Cambridge Audio Azur 640C CD player is relatively new, as is the B&W ASW-610 subwoofer.

I'm looking for some suggestions for monitor speakers under $1000/pair that would go well with these electronics. I did own Spendor S3/5s for awhile and loved them, but they might be out of my price range.

SO....what do you thinK?

Thanks....David

No contest: KEL LS50s. Yes, they retail for $1495/pr. but can easily be found for $1300 or less. Stretch your budget just a wee bit and get the best monitors available today.

If you really cannot exceed $1,000, look for the KEF Q300s - awesome speakers for about $480/pr....
