You have TONs of good choices and it may come to preference and what you can find for a good deal wherever you are looking. Budget & size consideration?

I think period correct typical speakers that may be paired with would be something like Klipsch KG series or chorus/forte/heresy models. The upper end polks and dahlquist from the era would be likely candidates as well.

In the late 90s I bought some dynaudio contours which I still have and they still sound fantastic. Anything from dynaudio would be a good choice. Early B&W matrix series, PSB stratus series, or thiels are great as well. all of these can be had in the $700-1500 range. Magnepans and martin logans can be had very reasonably if you are in to planar dipole (not for me)

One thing that has happened in the last several years is that many entry level speakers are truly high performance these days. Brands like Elac, Revel, mid level JBL, and entry level Dynaudio, etc make truly great speakers in the 500-1000 range. Cheaper slightly used. Speakers were much more hit or miss in the pre computer modeling and cheap measurements age.
