2.0 Stereo speakers on a $2000 budget?

After finding this forum and looking around here, I'm not sure anyone has a budget. WOW! $35,000 speakers!
But, is there any advise someone could give me? I want to get a pair of good stereo speakers for $2000 or less.
I have a new NAD C 356BEE integrated amp. As well as a 30 something year old NAD 1020B pre-amp and 2200 power amp. I can use a vinyl source with the 1020B or other analog with both the 1020B and the C 356BEE. I had a Thorens turntable with a Lynn tonearm and cartridge but it got lost after the divorce.
My living room is 14' X 21' X 8' high. I like all kinds of music. Some of it pretty loud.
Help would be greatly appreciated or maybe I should just move along.
Thank you.

 Glad to try to help.Of course, in a thread like this, everybody is going to tend to recommend what they have!That said, I will put in a pitch for the Spatial Audio M3 or M4 open baffle speakers.  They are an INCREDIBLE value. My M4's are the speakers that got me off the merry-go-round. I'm just happy.

+1. 

Otherwise I would have recommended Golden Ear Triton Three Plus instead of 5

nadamp,

Lots of good recommendations. I'll second the Golden Ear and Vandersteen suggestions. If you can, check out the Bowers and Wilkins 683 S2, one of the best values out there right now. I've lived with them for over a year, love them. Also, the Monitor Audio Silver 8 is a great speaker as well. A little harder to drive but the 80 watts from year NAD should be enough for your size room. Good luck with your search.

Cheers,

Scott
