WLM
I am not sure about prices in the USA, but the WLM Gran Viola MkII might just fit your budget (unless the exchange rates wreaked havoc). Otherwise look at the Lyra MkII or Aura. These are ingenious speaker systems that can be upgraded (see the "Super-Pac" option) and adjusted to fit just about every room, and ... 97-98 db 1W/1m is standard at WLM.

Besides of WLM, I second Zu (whereby, I only know the less expensive Druid MkIV myself)
Good Luck
