Kef 104/2. Found a pair for $440 three years ago. Drive them with McCormack DNA 0.5 and a Manley Jumbo Shrimp pre and steam Spotify via Cambridge 851N.  I am very happy all the way around. 

So the consensus is Maggie LRS. I can’t argue with that. A new speaker for less than $700. Unreal

JBL 530 is a great option. They won't fatigue you. 

There are some really good used speakers sin that price range.  I have heard that DefTec (SP?) sounds pretty good for the money, but I favor B&W, at least with subs.  KEF should be really good.
