Bookshelf speaker for an apartment

I rented a 1BR apartment as a 2nd home and want to upgrade my speakers.  I currently am using Totem Mini's through a Denon AVR-X6200.  My speakers in my main system in my home are Sopra 2's.  Due to Covid I am unable to audition speakers but have read good things about the Focal Chora 806, Aria 906 ane the B&W 707.  I would like to keep the budget under $1000 for the pair but go a bit higher for the right speaker.  I welcome suggestions.  Thank you.

The 906 are hard to beat in that price range. They sound big and detailed and there is nothing offensive about them imo. Not sure that Denon is going to do any of these justice though.

Silverline Minuet Supreme Plus sound fabulous, look great, aren’t hard to drive and do well with mass market components (although will yield the benefits of better electronics), and are only $699/pr new.  Best of luck.

A pair of Vandy VLR's would be my suggestion. 
I use them in my office mounted near the ceiling at opposite corners and pointed at my desk.
Don't let the diminutive size fool you, these speakers can rock with the right equipment/cables.
Paired with a Belles Aria Integrated and you have the beginnings of a great system.
I would contact a local dealer. Many are closed to the public, but will open for an appointment.

There is a dealer near me that sells B&W and Vandy.  They also have closeout on a NAD T758 for $499.  I will check them out.
