If it were me, I would not look beyond the offerings recommended above!
Here are the Cantons:

Note that the Cantons are also available from A4L in White if that is your preference!
IMHO, the DCM's are the bargain of the decade! They are quality speakers for next to nothing!
I have not heard the TFE60 series that Zieglj01 recommends, but I have been following his posts long enough and have listened to enough of the same speakers to trust his opinions!
The dilemma is that as good as the DCM's are, it take a very good speaker to be decisively better! And as highly discounted as the DCM's are, the price jump will be steep (not compared to your suggested budget, but compared to the cost of the DCM;s).
Earlier models of the Chrono series used the Aluminium Magnese tweeters which were good, but not great, but now the Chrono has the Ceramic tweeter trickled down from Canton's Vento series. On-axis*, I put this tweeter in the same category as the RAAL and the Focal Beryllium tweeters - it is world class for clarity and clean (not harsh). The Vento series includes an expensive to manufacture pressed curved cabinet. I have the above Chrono SL center and it matches very well with my Vento mains, so I am inclined to believe the Chrono are Vento in a standard box! The Chrono is a sturdy box and I think more aesthetics than function is sacrificed going from Vento to Chrono!
* I say on-axis, because Canton does use a wave guide for this driver. To my ear, this is a mixed bag. when I compare to to the Philharmonic BMR's the BMR's with their extremely great polar response are overall superior, but it is not at all absolute; it depends on the music and instrumentation.
So we are talking around
$163 for the TP160 front 3,
$330 for the TFE60 front 3, and
$850-900 for the Chrono SL (with Ceramic tweeter) front 3.
Pick your price!
And looking at this list, I have to say now is a great time to be buying speakers!
