The best speaker on the used market for $1000.00


I am in the market to upgrade my Sequerra NFM Pro monitors and have a 1000 or so to spend. I am looking for something with a grill as we now baby sit my daughters cat and the Sequerra's have no protection I am using a box to cover them when not listening but this is getting old so I am looking for suggestions (other than booting the cat out not an option) to upgrade or is there nothing in the 1000 range that will be an upgrade? I am looking for natural sound and listen to CD SACD's , on an NAD C350 and Sony 555es numerous cables collected over the years and to mostly female vocals, jazz, piano, and chamber music. I listen at low volume since most of my listening is at night after the children are turned in but the family listens from time to time during the day to all kinds of music usually at moderate levels just as background music. I am looking at Revel M20/22 Spendor, Proac, Sonus, and Dynaudio ? I am after natural vocals, the piano to sound like a piano, cymbals to sound real and string instruments to have that grip and raw open musical sound? I am not looking to reproduce a full orchestra in my living room which is 25X16 with a cathedral ceiling open on the 25' end. The Sequerra's are very point source and do a good job, they also have an adjustment for the tweeter for those poorly recorded but classic discs, am I nuts to put the Sequerra's in the closet for now? Thank you for your thoughts.

Thank you for everyones feedback and suggestions I know it was one of those boy it all depends type question but it was great brainstorming for me. I ended up with a pair of Proac signature 50's I should have them next week some time and will then be able to tell if I made the right choice from all the reviews I read they should do it thank you again for everyones input!
At DCMspeakers.com. $1000/pr, very musical and easy to drive. Sold direct with an in-home trial for 30 days. My personal favorite at this price point.
Well sorry for not getting back on the report with the Proac's. I sent out the money order and saw that the seller raised the price on the speakers. Thought this was not a good sign and sure enough he said he never received the money order. Bad experience, I assume he sold the speakers to someone at the higher price. I have put in a request to see if the money order was cashed if so he stiffed me for the speakers and stole my money. First time on Audiogon everyone has been great. Guess there is a first time for everything. What I learned use Paypal.
