Might take a look at Polk Audio db651s. Over the years, I've had boston acoustics (now leaving the car audio market), infinity (not the OEM variety), diamond audio (pricey) and enjoyed them in that increasing order. I have however, polk audio speakers in my home and LOVE them for clarity, quality, and accurate reproduction (my tests are female vocals, and piano, both difficult to "get right"). Worth a look and in your price range. Note that the set mentioned has a 92+db sensitivity, which translates to "almost double" the volume for the same power input. (a 3dB increase is double; 10dB is 10x). Thus, with amps pushed less hard, you often get a better quality of sound. good luck!!!
