Small Monitors and Book shelves for Rock Music?

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.

Thanks again will check out whatever is suggested and will keep you posted.

Oh man...thanks Drumsgreg for alerting me to the Sierra-2! I'm going to look into that upgrade ASAP.

I was going to suggest Silverline Minuets but then I saw your budget (they currently retail for only $800 I think). Excellent little speakers that can fill a medium sized room. They are rear ported and if you put them near a wall you can get a surprising amount of bass from a 4-inch driver in a small box. You might want to check out some of the larger, more expensive Silverline monitors.
