tad cr1 that is the ultimate speaker. rockports, salon2 etc. average speakers at most. focal scala utopia III is a "poor" man tad cr1 and if you are tight with money then 802d which compensates its lack of cr1-like qualities with its own set of qualities.
if you are really tight with money go with Salk, and Symphonia 7R at the very bottom. remember always go to youtube first and hear speakers there as many recordings as possible

I'm assuming there isn't some humour intended with the youtube advice? 
My experience, I owned 802Ds for 4-5yrs and was very happy with them but as always the upgrade bug bit & I actually had my eyes on 800Diamonds & spent several hours with them. The Rockport Aviors are very much a step above in every aspect (as you would hope for the extra $), hence I bought them. I would be very cautious about relying on youtube audio for any hifi purchase!
And jdebonth, a belated congrats on a great purchase
