$229 Audio Pro A10 MKII 'WiiM Edition' powered loudspeaker.

WiiM is currently beta testing deployment of support for Dolby Digital 5.1 audio playback. The Audio Pro A10 MKII (WiiM Edition) can be used as a 'wireless' (AC-powered) rear loudspeaker.
 
Magnat Reference 5A. They're very affordable floorstanding 2.5-way actives meant to replace soundbars. Current price for a pair is around 600€ or less. I have heard them and they sound neutral and inoffensive, but as expected the low end doesn't perform as well as "advertised".
 
The Ascilab F6Bs and F6B, the Kef Q Concerto Meta, the Chesky Audio LC1, the new KRK Rokit Gen 5 and the big Rokit 10 Gen 4 ( I think this 3 way budget Rokit is always available, though not updated in Gen 5, which is too bad).
 
Anything by Dynavoice:


The DC-5 center speaker had an okay (for a center speaker) review on this forum very recently

Anything by Fyne Audio
Affordable but the F301 seems to have a major drop around 8-9 kHz
There's a successor now, the 300i https://www.fyneaudio.com/product/f300i/
 
New Falcon F50 small 2-ways knocked it out of the park at AXPONA this weekend. Especially at only $2k/pr, they had extended bass, and midrange and spookily-good soundstage equal to the $4k+ LS3/5a in same room. Bravo, Falcon.

Now you have just barely entered the "BUDGET" zone that I am interested in ($2-$7K). Bravo!
It seemed that I was gently "shown the door" so to speak when I last mentioned that I have no interest in what I would call "Super Duper Inexpensive Speakers".
There needs to be some bracketing of who's budget. I have saved for many years & do not want to buy another inexpensive speakers, as I do not want the compromises involved.

In the OP it was around $200/pair. If you're looking to spend $2-7k you're in the wrong thread.
