Best bookshelf speakers???

My listening room is about 11' x 13'. The speakers need to go in a bookshelf. Floor-standing isn't an option (my linn keilidh's are saddened by this turn of events!). I'm pretty much sold on the Peachtree 125 as I can get a silly discount on it through my company. I need some help with the speakers---I've heard the Totem Rainmakers (told they're great for this application), friend is recommending the Silverline Minuets. Some talk of Monitor Audio and even the Peachtree Design 5s.....anyway, since they're oging to be in the bookshelf itself, a rear port won't work. That may rule out the Silverlines. Any thoughts---budget ~ $800/pr. Audio source is mp3-quality.

Audioadvisor as PSB GB-1 on a great clearance price. Front ported, should do well in a bookshelf. I have not heard them however, but I would try them if I could.

Boy I can't wait for my kids school loans to be paid. :]

Hi Glen

I just checked Audio Advisor and the PSB G-Design GB1 Bookshelf Speakers are no longer available at all.

To the OP check out the KEF Q300 loudspeakers. I have them now right up against a wall in a room with similar dimensions as yours and I really like them. They can be found used sometimes at 1/2 your budget.

Jedinite24...Timing is everything. Wish I could have moved on them when I first came across the deal.

I've owned the Silverline Minuets and really liked them. But I recently found another sub $1000 monitor I like even more and I would stack it up against any bookshelf speaker under $1500. It is the Aperion Grand Verus Bookshelves and they cost about $700. The finish is spectacular (mine is in high gloss cherry although black is also an option). Do I like them as much as my LSA-1 Statement monitors? No, not quite up to that level (nor should they be considering the LSAscost 4X as much) but they are very close. Also the 10 year warranty and free shipping (both ways if you decide you don't like them! Who else does that?). Really no way to lose with these and you can try them out risk free but I don't think you will return them. Truly incredible and not just for the price. Just my .02.
Best of Luck!
