How about a used pair of Magnepan 1.6 for about 800 - 900 bucks.
I still have the Lsi15s but purchased the 1.7s. for a second system.
I listen mainly to jazz in its various forms.
If you have the room they are a significant improvement with exception of not being able to reach down in the bass region like the Lsi15s. It depends on the recorded bass content. About 90% or more of the time the 1.7s cover the recorded bass content.
