Budget American made speakers?


Can anyone recommend a decent sounding American made bookshelf speaker under $1000.  Is there such a thing?
Im starting to put together what you guys would call a "budget system".  I am planning on buying a rogue shpinx v2, but havent made a decision that yet. 
I typically try to buy American first but im finding it hard to find speakers within my price range.
Thanks

Another vote for Omegas, Louis is a cabinet maker by trade I believe and his cabinetry is beautiful.  I had a rare early pair of the Grande 8's a while back in Sapele that were awesome.  Now he uses better drivers and his stuff always seems to be evolving.  
Wondering if your wife thinks  floor standing speakers are just big and ugly because she has not seen anything beyond what one sees in the BB type of store.  Vandersteen 1c's  is one that comes to mind as anything but big and ugly, with their choice of stain color and small footprint..  





Selah Audio builds and designs many high quality speakers at different price points. And of course his speaker's sound great.
