New speakers needed on a budget


Just got married, and new speakers are needed. We have a budget of $800 a pair. They need to be floorstanding. Jazz, classical, rock, and a few movies are our listening pleasures, but are never played loud. The room is all hardwoods, and is about 18 x 27. What would you suggest to get the best sound for the dollar (and I know this is not much money for the type of speakers discussed on Audiogon). We are considering the Swan's but haven't seen much feedback.

I have owned the Opera Plateas for a few years. Work well with solid state and tubes. All hardwood construction. Not much on the web about them, but I can pass you a review, if you like.

There is a current listing for the Plateas (no affiliation). $500 for a speaker that listed for $2200, when new.
