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?

Also posted on Speakers discussion board.

Thanks....David

TOTEM DREAMCATCERS !!!
Check the Stereophile Review, if anything the reviewer is understating how good they are.

Kiko65, I own both Dreamcatchers and Totem Model 1 Signatures, in many ways the Dreamcathers are better,more transparent for a start.Can't match the harmonics on the Signature 1's but close enough to keep the extra 1500$ in your pocket.
I'll make a bold statement that will confirm I'm crazy, Dreamcatchers actually give a better sense of the recorded hall on symphonic music than my buddies Magico 5's !
And I've been in most of the halls.
