Best Bookshelf System for a Bookshelf


I'm looking for a bookshelf system to use as a second system for the den. I will probably hook up the TV to it, but we hardly watch it anyway, so I'm more concerned about music. Important characteristics are: (1) speakers must sound good (or at least as good as possible) placed in a bookshelf; (2) electronics must be vert small to please wife(I'm currently thinking Linn Classik or NAD L-40; and (3) total price less than $2,500 (used is ok). What should I audition?

After extensive looking and proding I have to agree with Dekay. I looked and looked and ended up getting the Castle Richmonds. They are fantastic. I use them as true bookshelf speakers with a Jolida tube amp and the work wonderfully. The best source for them is Jody at Brooklyn Audio here on AudiogoN. Sound aside Castle is the only make of bookshelves even close to this price that makes genuine wood veneers and they make some beautiful ones check it out at castleaucoustics.co.uk.
