There are more used Vandersteen 2 2ci & 2ce out there than all 5 others you mentioned combined. There's a reason for it, too. Most have been sold when folks upgrade to speakers at 2-3x the price. They are a bargain.
FWIW, Thiels are anything but warm. 3.7s are well out of your price range, anyway. Cheers,
