You might consider a pair of Klipsch Diamond Jubilees. Those could be had for under 20K. Use a good tube amp for the drive.
Or you might consider a used pair of K horns, approx. 4-5K.
Then pick up an electronic crossover, I use a Crown VFX2 along with a good transistor amp for the bass with volume controls for sound tuning. (transistors are better for bass: tighter, faster...)
Drive the mids/highs with a nice single ended tube amp of your choice and you have reached audio nirvana my friend!
No need for a subwoofer with this setup, you'll have lots of nice, tight, deep bass
