Paradidm - Studio 10 or Mini Monitor

Philharmoninc - Philharmonitor

Svs - Ultra Bookshelf

Revel - Concerta M12

From those I would go for the Philharmonitors.

Based on what your use will be, I'll throw in another vote for the Philharmonitors, assuming you can get them. They're currently out of stock without any word on when they will be back in stock.

As an alternative to the Philharmonitor that you can definitely get right now and is in the same price class as the one's you listed is the CAOW1. Another Dennis Murphy Design, built by Salk Sound.

For a couple hundred more

There's also these for $850

I can also vouch for Source Speaker as a great product, if not as flashy cabinet-wise

The Philharmonitors are certainly the choice I'd go with. If you can't get them, another similar boutique brand I like is Totem. It might be slightly out of budget but the Totem Rainmaker has an amazing sound.

Are towers out completely of the question?

+1 on the Phils.

I own a pair, highly recommended.
