help with budget, low power speaker selection

Well it is time to upgrade my speakers, and I would like to see if anyone can help me with selection. My system consist of a rega P25 with incognito rb250, EAR 834p with cap and tube upgrade, Cary slp-30 with tele tubes, and a pair of ASL wave DT. My budget tops out at $1000. I have looked at the Meadowlark Kestral 2 (which I like but are a little out of my range). Any other suggestions that would mate well with the eight watts from the ASL? New or used will work.
Thanks!

Check out Omega speakers at www.omegaloudspeakers.com. I had a pair of TS1 (96dB sens.) and they really do very well for the price. Build quality is outstanding to boot. Also look at the Coincident Technology Triumphs. Very nice sounding monitors but not quite as tube friendly as the Omegas. Good luck! Arthur

A friend of mine recently bought a pair of KEF Q7 speakers (91 db sensitivity). They are $1200 list and he likes them a lot.

Try the new Monitor Audio Bronze B2 loudspeakers. Absolute Sound gave them a 5 star rating, and at $399.00 a pair MSRP they were a speaker that should be in the $1000.00 range. Come in beech or in black finish. Same sound as upper Silver or Gold series but not as pricey for someone on a budget. Why not save a few hundred bucks if you can and have money left over for upgrade cables and music to listen to?

You might be able to find a used pair of original Meadowlark Kestrals in really good condition at your price point.
