OK, Here's one suggestion for ya.
Monitor Audio PL100

I recently heard these with the Mac MC402 and Mac CD Player. I listened to a few tracks that were mostly acoustic, and was very impressed. Overall a very balanced speaker, and if you haven't heard a ribbon tweeter before you might be pleasantly surprised. These won't get down as low as the AADs, but are IMHO a great accomplishment for Monitor Audio... especially if you pick them up used.
just a thought in your price range.
