Try to find some nice used British monitors.

IMF, Spendor, Rogers, KEF, B&W, etc. have made good models at various
price points.

Typical examples:

I can enthusiastically endorse the IMF's. Back in the 80's I had both TL-50
transmission lines and the Super Compacts (which incidentally except for
deep bass sounded remarkably alike). I'm sorry I ever sold them...along
with the Thiels the best speakers I have ever owned (better than the
Magnapan II's and Heil's, IMO).
