Monitor with Portal Panache & Rega Planet?

Seeking monitor speaker recommendations synergistic with Portal Panache integrated amp and Rega Planet CD player, $2,000 or under, used or new. I listen to jazz, classical, folk. Have subwoofer. Small room. Thinking about monitors from Proac, Von Schweikert, Green Mountain, RBH, Wilson... Thanks for your help!

The fact that Reynaud uses natural rubber in the surrounds worries me about their durability, though I have high praise for their sound.

Hsu sub -- not the greatest... but good enough for my purposes.

Thanks for the tips, guys; will check 'em out. What about Splendor? Dynaudio? Others?

Now i'm thinking of moving in another direction: getting floorstanders and doing away with my sub! Suggestions?
Again, 2K or under, used or new...

OK, I think I've found the monitors to go with my Panache setup -- Silverline SR17s. Now I need to find compatible speaker cables. My Goertz Alpha Cores MI1s were dead, the Stealth silver cables I tried were too hard and bright. I need something modestly priced that will offer openness, depth, detail, but with emotive warmth. Suggestions?
