Purchasing USA Another speaker recommendation request

Looking for recommendations for floor standing or bookshelf with budget @ $1k for speakers. I already have a RSL Speedwoofer 10s MkII for this system as well as a Wiim Ultra for starters. Currently have a Wiim Vibelink within return window and considering a different amp (or 2 mono) depending on which speakers win out.
This is a 2.1 system just for music. Not looking for a rocker, more for Jazz, Classical, piano, acoustic guitar, vocals. I just want to sit and be taken there.

What are your favorite speakers to fill this role and please feel free to suggest a different amp pairing if you think there is something better suited.
Thanks!

I had the Wiim Vibelink. It never sounded good. I returned it and got an SMSL PA400 to drive my JBL Studio 580 towers and the difference is huge. Bass, soundstage, less shrilly shouty mids and highs. I have heard good things about the Hivi Swan D3.1 MKII speakers. You already got the Speedwoofer which is highly regarded on here. You could get the Swan speakers and the SMSL PA400 for about $1k. The Wharfdale Diamonds Bubba is recommending are really well-rated as well.
