I would honestly consider a pair of Linn Tukans. These are right around your price range and are a very good speaker that can be driven successfully with a wide range of amplification. I own many pair of speakers, some costing 20 times as much as a pair of new Linn Tukans (which I have owned for more than 10 years!).
Mine have been positioned on stands, on wall mounts, in shelving systems. They always sound good. Price is about $300-400 I would say.
I can tell you that I won't sell mine, they are good enough to satisfy me when I am in interim stages with other speakers whose cost put them to shame.
