Need a monitor while floorstanders in storage

I need some recommendations for a monitor speaker at $500 or less used. Some of the Totem small floorstanders are out of my price range even used, like the Arro or Staff. I have been reommended PSB Alpha-1, Music Hall's new speaker called the Marimba. Will appreciate any recommendation. Thank you

An even better speaker than the Minuets (which I have owned think are great) are the Aperion Verus Grand monitors. After looking and listening to them I'd swear they cost $2k+ but they sell for about $700 new so you should be able to pick up a new pair for around $500, I would think.

Bang for buck Silverline Mins are hard to beat.
Another very good choice is Focal 202, a stereophile class B at one time, not often seen but when 200-300 bucks usually.
