The ELAC DBR62 are a great pick in this price range. Andrew Jones designed them, and his stuff consistently punches above its weight. These have a smooth top end, solid midrange, and better bass than you’d expect from a 6.5" woofer. Specs:44Hz–35kHz 86 dB sensitivity 6 ohms 1" cloth dome tweeter 6.5

The older KEF Q100 and Q300 bookshelf speakers from the mid-2010s have a front firing port. Or the recently discontinued ELAC Debut B5.2 or B6.2 bookshelf speaker. All four of those options are very good bookshelf speakers with a neutral tonality and even dispersion (good directivity). You should be

You can buy Elac DBR62s in Germany and Netherlands for less than 400eur. The best hifi deal in Europe right now. For example: https://geizhals.de/elac-debut-reference-dbr62-v9270.html Then add a WiiM Amp to it then you'll have all you need in terms of connectivity.

If you are placing the speakers on an actual bookshelf, avoid speakers with a rear port. The ELAC Debut Reference (DBR62) is a front ported speaker with a "warmer" sound that you might consider. Retail is US $799, but it looks like they are on sale now.

Is the budget $1500 for the speakers? Speakers plus amplifier and streamer? Or for the turntable and phono preamplifier too? (Because those add/subtract $700 from the budget.) Anyway, I’d suggest maybe going even pricier with these: KEF LS50 Meta (EAC review, ASR review) WiiM Amp Pro (ASR review) If

The Elac DBR 62 are highly recommended https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisbc858-elac-debut-reference-dbr62-bk-full-range?creative=&gad_campaignid=17191022312&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADQhP4oEwTS6rSDjwlxLpMJXctC6d&gclid=CjwKCAjw1IHTBhAaEiwA4AYNFjMdJeWEbAs-B0IrcwLVwoWDX8pTtGIgOfzaoKnrpLmqcHkgsMHshRoC5

The Dali Kupid appears to be a desktop. I think the Elac Debut Reference 6.2 would be a better match https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisbi0e9-elac-debut-reference-dbr62-bk-home-theater?creative=&gad_campaignid=17191022312&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADQhP4ptwgdljvWGlztnYHTxemGls&gclid=Cj0KCQjwm8bTBhDWA

My suggestion, passive speakers + amp 300 speakers, they ship EU wide https://csmusiksysteme.net/Lautsprecher/Regal-Lautsprecher/Elac-Debut-Reference-DBR62-Stueck-B-Ware.html?listtype=search&searchparam=Dbr62%20 Get an Aiyima A80 from AliExpress for about 160 during the current sales.
