i think one of the best buys out there is tyler acoustics. by the way ty uses jolida products at shows with them. they can be driven by either solid state or tubes. depending on the size of your room should depend on what you get. i have finally found a speaker thats neutral enough but is capable of playing all forms of music. they are in your price range and ty has a trade up program so people are always trading up to the next model. tact audio had a pair of tyler acoustic linbrook system 2 for a listen and vr4 jr's and the linbrook was the better sounding. if you want to step up i would go with the linbrook signature monitor with stands. the speakers are
55lbs each. i have them for my a/v system and because this model is rear ported the bass is down to 35 hz. if you want a floor standing model go with the linbrook signature monitors. you could probably get a pair close to your price range that was traded in. they are front ported but play down to 25 hz. if i were you i would get the traded in model for $$$$ savings. go on their website at
www.tyleracoustics.com look up what ty has for sale usedand the new ones as well. some of the speakers are less than 6-9 months old as people are trading up to his next model. i also have the woodmere and with all the speakers i have had these have to be the best of the best especially when you concider the price per performance. i would call them a sonic steal. call ty and let him know that i said to give you a good deal. you cannot go wrong with the speakers i mentioned. remember they are factory direct so there is no doubling of the price as in a stereo store so you are actually buying them for cost comapred to the marked up lines in speaker stores.
good luck
