Best low budget speakers for a Levinson 383 Integrated amp

Howdy folks!

I bought a Levinson 383 integrated years ago when it came out in 2000. I paired it with a pair of Revels and although it sounded good, not the perfect fit. Sold amp and speakers to sis and moved on. It worked perfect for her. After her recent passing, the amp is coming back home. Just curious what speakers you might suggest pairing it with. Nothing will replace my McIntosh Piega C10LTD combo in the main room but would like to hear it paired with the right speakers. That amp new was $6000 new. 100 watts. 

Something on the used market. They don't even need to look pretty just sound perfect. $2000 tops used is plenty. Thanks for your suggestions!

Look at all these fine recommendations. I appreciate everyones comments! When paired correctly, this amp and it's surrounding components will shine. I like the idea of some nice monitors on stands. Putting this together for the future.

I'm assuming we are talking used here. A few I'd consider for $2k: Buchardt Audio S400 MKII ($1,700 used), Philharmonic BMR stand mounts ($1,800 new), Fritz Carbon or Carrera ($2,100 used), Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2EX V2 ($1,800 new)

In the $2000 range I like the Graham Audio Chartwell LS6. There is a very nice one-owner pair for sale ($2250) on USAM right now.
