Help Bookshelf recommendations


I'm seeking recommendations for my first pair of bookshelf speakers. I've always owned towers & need something smaller for the home theatre in my relatively small room (about 15' x 20'). I live in northern Michigan and there are no AV stores in which I can demo equipment.

The vast majority of my home theatre time is spent on concert DVDs. Clapton, Sting, etc.

The best sounding speakers in my past experience were Alon IVs. I also enjoy Klipsch but, as we all know, the highs can be fatiguing. I'm going to be purchasing used from Audiogon & have a budget of $1000.

Please take a moment to give me some recommendations. I'll do the research if you'll give me the leads. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

$1000 should get you some excellent monitors. Alon Petite, Nola Rascal, Totem Model 1, Green Mountain Audio Europa, Spendor S3/5se... to name a few. Cleaneduphippy is right to ask what the rest of your system looks like. Tubes? SS? btw, Alon IV's are killer speakers.
