Full sounding Bookshelf speakers music only


I'm trying to find a nice full sounding bookshelf, or monitor pair for a new set-up. I have a nad c740, and I'm looking for a good match. I have a budget of $400.00. I don't want to use a sub. This will be for music only. I listen to everything from classical to metal. Thanks.

You might consider Acoustic Energy Aegis Evo 1's. They are an incredible sounding bookshelf speaker that performs way past its price of $300.00. You'd be hard pressed to find better for double the money.
What do you consider a "bookshelf" sized speaker? Are you really going to use them in a bookshelf or would "reasonably sized" floorstanders work too? Sean

I find the NHT bookshelf speakers in that price range to be quite good for the money.

If you can live without alot of bass, the JMlab Chorus 706S is a reasonably priced small bookshelf. I got mine to go with the new Cambridge Audio Azur 640C/640A (CD player/integ. amp). For about $1000, this is a very musical small second system for my kitchen area. I believe it is reviewed in the current HiFi plus mag.
Sorry, that is $1000 for the whole system, the speakers should be under $400 US
