I have Swans. I love them. Mine are the 6.1's which are about $400 above the price point you are looking at, but I have spoken to many people that have the 5.2's and the 4.1's which would be more in line with your budget. I have really enjoyed their quality of sound.
I'm not sure how much you can fudge your budget, but the 5.2's come in at $729. The 4.1's are right on the mark, bu tI'm sure you have already researched this. Just thought I'd post in case you have not yet seen it.
