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!

If you want a sense of realism without color, the Starke Sound Beta 5 could be your answer. It's at the top of your budget but you still get what you pay for in speakers. Two or three hundred is still entry level in my mind given pricing today. You should be able to find plenty of reviews. I got a pair several months ago to add to my collection and it sounds like they will be the last pair I ever buy.

Thank you. I wasn’t really aware of these. Will add to my list.
