My favorite 1K speakers.

Monitor Audio RS6

Now the Monitor Audio RX6

Stereophile Class B recommended.

Real wood veneer cabinets

There is a 1K PSB model as well that's worth a listen, the Image or Imagine series. Sorry, forget the model.

The new PSB Image T6 is definitely worth a listen.

If you think they sound twice as good as those recommended then I'd say they are worthy budget busters.

Those are $2000 a pair. Was your budget $1000 a pair or $2000 a pair?

The B&W CM7 is lacking somewhat in the low end. It is reported to extend only to 62Hz

i forgot to tell u guys my wife let me increase the budget. it's now 1500 to 2000 dollars. :-)

thanks for the comment on the CM7. i think it is just pricy for a bit no low end of frequency response.

If you can, try to listen to:
PSB Image T6
PSB Imagine T
Monitor Audio RS8
Totem Sttaf
Epos M16i
Quad 22L2
Paradigm Studio 60

These are just above your budget, but worth a listen:
Vandersteen 2Ce Signature II
Totem Hawk
PSB Synchrony Two
Triangle Esprit Altea EX
Opera Grand Mezza
Paradigm Studio 100
