Best Monitor Speaker?

I am putting together a new secondary system for my dining room, based around a new NAD C352 integrated amp (80 wpc) and a Rotel RCD-1072 CD player. I would appreciate some recommendations for a set of monitor speakers that would work with this system, with a ceiling price limit of about $800 (used). This system will be almost exclusively used for jazz, jazz big band, jazz standard and small ensemble classical music.

Thank you in for any feedback, it is greatly appreciated.

Try to get your hands on a used Chario Constellation Lynx or even Delphinus. I had the small floorstander Cygnus for exactly the kind of music you describe (with the exception of big band, I admit).

Energy make great value products often sounding well above their price point peers. I second the above RC-10 suggestion.

If you look very carefully you might find a pair of old B&W N805 for just under $1000...

There is a pair of Silverline SR-15 for sale on the GON right now for 800.00 and no shipping. 1800.00 when new. I don't know the seller but have heard these speakers and liked them very much. Lots of choices in your price range
