purchasing US made speakers

There's a local company here called SilverLine Audio , designer is Alan Yun, and he offers a wide range of speakers that should meet your needs....

+1 on Salk. In your price range you could do the new SS9.5 with the midrange that can be open or closed. I own the Song3 BeAT with the same tweeter and midrange driver.  Midrange is outstanding.  

It's the size and shape of your room (and the placement in the room) that matters most. Don't buy a speaker you have not auditioned in your room. Try as many as you can before purchasing. I've had modestly priced speakers that outperformed much expensive ones because of room interactions or inability to place the speakers where they can sound their best (WAF and other practical considerations) If you have to change your amp to suit the speaker, so be it. 

I have a pair of the Fleetwood Deville speakers and they sound incredible, USA made a horn based speaker and even come with a lifetime guarantee
Oswaldsmill owns them and they came up with a lower price point so it's in an affordable price range  

I bought a speaker not auditioned in my own room. Not auditioned by me in any room. Its the best speaker I ever heard in my life! Its everything I had come to expect from reading reviews, impressions, and design theory. Only better. The old advice to always home audition first is a good one only if you won't use the search bar and instead are willing to severely limit your options.

The US made speakers with the best tech and value are made in Utah by Eric Alexander at Tekton Design. End of story.
