Best speaker that you dont need a sub under 1.5k

Soliloquy 6.3

I have a pair if you are interested.

NHT 2.9's or NHT 3.3 as already stated or if you are into rock and roll get some PSB Gold's.

I don't know about "best," but a good floorstander speaker I have heard that meets your criteria brand new is the Tyler Acoustics Freedom F-3 at $1450/pr. (gets down to 35hz)... A couple used floorstanders are the Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home (this one is going to be tough to find for $1500/pr. used, but well worth it if you do) and Opera Audio Eric-3s (usually can be found in the $1200/pr. area used).

I should of put some more detail, but of course at night I was half asleep when typing. I have been a bias Dynaudio guy over the years, 1.3, 1.3SE, 1.4.... I was going to look at a floorstander. I listen to mainly rock and jazz. I loved my HSU VTF3 with the 1.3SE's... kickin setup, but I just hate making room for a sub. So I was thinking a floorstander would be better. Thanks for the input!

Von Schweikert VR2's can be found at around $1500 used; VR4 Gen I's can be found for ~$1200; and VR 3's can be found (though more rare) for ~$700 (or less). I have the VR3s and the only down-side is their bulk, but if you really want a speaker that doesn't require a sub, bulk is a given.

I think you also need to consider what you mean by "no sub". I personally have never been satisfied with a "sub-less" speaker system not capable of flat response to 25Hz or less. There are many others who are completely satisfied with ~35Hz response. I'm sure it depends on your taste in music, as well as the room you're placing them in. This is a question you need to answer for yourself though.
