Looking for powered bookshelf/monitor speakers $1000 or less, used is ok. Any recs?

Any specific listings I should look at? This is for a frugal friend who wants a portable high-end system.
Thanks!

I bought a bunch when I signed up to be a Scansonic Raidho dealer and they are nice sounding little speakers. 50w. Bluetooth enabled and a few different inputs. I have these listed on Audiogon as well.
