Vandersteen 2-series speakers are typically a bargain on the used market. They would work well with your Rotel, however you may not appreciate their unconventional appearance. A used pair of Meadowlark Swift or Totem Sttaf loudspeakers could be had within your budget as well. Each of these have individual characteristics which offer different strengths and weaknesses.
Above are just three of the floorstanders that I considered when I was looking for speakers to go with my Rotel integrated. B&Ws have a huge following, although I am not crazy about their lower models.
Take your time and look at/listen to as much stuff as you can!
