I'm going to throw out a few more options based off the apparent budget:
1. Usher Audio Be-718 - http://www.usheraudiousa.com/products/loudspeakers/dancer-series/Be-718
2. Mountain Audio rio - http://greenmountainaudio.com/rio/
3. Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne - http://www.evolutionacoustics.com/loudspeakers/mmmicroone/
4. Element Cable Millennium - http://www.elementcable.com/signature/product_info.php?cPath=33&products_id=97
I haven't heard the Ushers, but have heard others in the series and love the sound. I have heard the other three. The Mountains are very neutral and seem to just give you the music. The Evolutions are excellent and made some of my CD's sound the best they ever have. The Elements are the bookshelves I'd own if I were to buy a pair. Completely transparent and very engaging. They showed them at LSAF in 2012 and I had a hard time leaving that room. I don't know if they are still producing them though. For that matter, I'm not even sure if they had a run of them at all. I think they were having some big issues with the cabinet makers.
