For new speakers ...
The Wharfedale Diamond 210 or 220 would fit the bill nicely and would be in your price range. Try www.musicdirect.com.
Music Direct also has the ELAC Debut series, as well that have been well reviewed.
Listings here on Audiogon, would be:
1. Ascend Acoustics 170
2. Gallo Classico 1
Also, two well reviewed speakers.
Any of these 4 should be ok and make for an excellent starter system. i have done the same thing for my niece and it is great to speak with her about music and equipment.
