In your price range, I would also look into the Silverline Audio speakers. I think they use Dynaudio soft dome tweeters. I have the Minuet which is surprisingly good at $600 MSRP, but I got a good discount from a dealer. They got ones at $1000 and $1500 and I'm sure you can get the $1500 ones for $1200 with discount.
