Small Monitors and Book shelves for Rock Music?


Looking for advise on small monitors and bookshelves that are capable of playing rock music well and with some volume.
Will be connected to a modded mac mini with linear power supply. Any amps recommended for the speaker advice will be appreciated.
Happy Upcoming Holidays to all!!

check out the Ascend Acoustic Sierra 1...damn great little speaker...can be upgraded to the Sierra 2... that has a new woofer and Raal ribbon... i do own the Sierra 1 and love it....with all the rock and fusion that i play...this is a speaker you should at least take a listen too.

prices vary on finish around 948.per pair Sierra 1
1560. per pair of the Sierra 2
Try Mark and Daniel speaker and have some left over for a good amp

or Fritz Carbon 7s.
There are a pair of ATC 20-20a for sale here for $3k, but they are active so the amps are built into the speakers. Might be worth a look if rock and live-like dynamics are important to you.
Oh man...thanks Drumsgreg for alerting me to the Sierra-2! I'm going to look into that upgrade ASAP.
