what speakers for 4k or less new or used

putting together a two channel sys for one of my dearest buddies. he listened to my quicksilver m80's fell in love with sound and bought a pair of v-4's since then we have scored a rouge magnum 99 with a few upgrades here on the gon and an ah cd player. now we need speakers. he likes the sound of my snell e-IIIs he cant have em and also my snell b-minors cant have them either. a good bass is important as is wonderful midrange. and sounstage. . looking forward to hearing suggestions mitvh
