Recommended speaker for second system

My son´s apartment system needs an upgrade ,  He is using sunfire HRs speakers  and I would like to give him a better choice .  The amplifier he is using is the Marantz  PM 7000N Integrated Amplifier .  What will be your recommendation for a good speaker pair  under  $1200, ( bookshelf ) Regards

I have a pair of the Canton Vento Reference 9.2 DC speakers. Beautiful speakers, fairly neutral, surprising bass for their size. They're a bargain at the current price at accessories4less.

If he sells the HRSs, I would be interested.  Does he have the stands?  I always loved those speakers.  

Check out Monitor Audio Silver 100s.  At $1050, they are on budget and brilliant.  I would take the HRSs on trade, but my cheapest speaker would still be way too much.
