Maybe you should try to determine what speaker design elements suit you rather than focusing on price. I've learned that I highly prefer speakers with first-order crossovers. Others just don't sound "right" to me.
Speakers like the Martin-logan CLS (which have no crossovers) sound even better but don't do extreme dynamics very well -this may not be a concern if you don't listen to rock or large scale classical.
Maybe you're an apartment "dweller" and need a speaker that sounds better at low volumes -consider a dipole design.
Knowing what you want will save you spins on the upgrade merry-go-round...
