If possible, you should try to audition a pair of Vandersteen 2ce's. Certainly not everyone's cup of tea (but then again, what speaker is?), but I've found them to be very satisfying.
If you were shopping new, I would recommend NHT, Paradigm, or PSB. In the used market, I would try to find Thiel, ProAc or Totem. The Meadowlark's are also worth a listen, but in the same price range, I prefer the other three.

Epos M15 (not the M15.2) are currently available for well under a grand, just a very good all around speaker (I owned the M12, which is the monitor version). They don't like "bright" gear though.

In addition ot all the above, they may be hard to find but a used pair of Ruark Talisman ll would be an excellent choice too.
