    The Polk LSi15s are pretty good. However they may be stretching the budget a bit, you might have to purchase them used.

    Otherwise IMO the best floorstanding speakers for $1000 would be the Definitive Technology BP10B. Just my opinion.
    polkaudio RT35 Bookshelves
    polkaudio 255c-RT Inwalls
    polkaudio DSWPro550WI
    polkaudio XRT12 XM Tuner
    polkaudio RM6750 5.1

    Front projection, 2 channel, car audio... life is good!

    LSI9's on a stand;)
    Keep in mind they are 4ohms, and need an amp.
    Or go vintage, and look for some SDA's
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben
