If you can go $1100, get these:

and

or (same speaker, but white):

You may not be familiar with Canton, but they are a major European speaker manufacturer from Germany (you will note that these speakers are either German or European for country of manufacturer).
They are excellent speakers for the money!
MSRP for all three is $2456
I made some comments on the 826's here:
I noticed that the Canton Vento 826 is now available for only $600/pr in either black or white. Even though they are not showing as "specials", this is the lowest price I have ever seen for these wonderful speakers! Both show as "almost sold out" so maybe they are just wanting to close out this...
