I recommend an 8 inch powered speaker. Should be within budget.
My band has Behringer Eurolive B208D units that we use for monitors when needed.
They're small and light and they get the job done. The rear corner is angled so
you can lay one on it's side on the the floor with the speakers angled up towards you.
When you don't need a monitor the same speaker could be used as a side fill
in rooms where the SA330x spread doesn't cover everything/everyone.
Alto, Gemini, Kustom and probably others probably make competing units,
but I have no experience there.
Another thought, if you can handle something a little bigger is a used Yamaha
DBR10 speaker or similar. Plenty of folks gig with just those as their mains.
Point being don't overlook previously owned stuff.
Cheers.
