Just bought Maggie 1.6es for 700

Crashmars,This is a tough question to answer as you have not listed your amp nor source. Something like a Klipsch Heresy can be purchased used for your budget and rock the house with a flea watt ebay amp. On the other hand, some speakers, for instance some versions of Thiels are going to require many thousands of dollars in amplification.

find an extra $100 in the couch for a $1500 pair of German gems.
