If you want a set of speakers you'll never want to replace AND be well under your budget, build yourself a set of Linkwitz LX521 or the Linkwitz Orion. If you don't feel like it, even within your budget, you can get them delivered to your doorstep well within your price range.

There's no shortage of monkey coffins out there costing $15k, $25k and $50k. Or you can build your own for under $5k and get something at least as good and probably better.
