If you are going for new speakers, the best that I have heard under $1,500 are the Totem Arros and the NHT ST-4's, and both of these are more like $1,000. The ST-4's are an amazing speaker for the money, and the Arros are also noteworthy for their big sound from such a small cab.
In the used market, I think that you can score some Thiels or ProAcs for that price. The ProAcs would probably match up better with your Cary.
