IYO, Best speaker for rock music under $1k

Admittedly, I am a complete newbie to this stuff. I have been toying around with the idea of purchasing a pair of B & W 685 bookshelf speakers but I have not extensively rummaged through the plethora of other great brands. It all gets a little overwhelming to be honest. I mainly listen to rock music and am wondering, in your opinions, what are the best speakers for under $1,000?

Snell CIV's or CV's work very well for rock;they show up used now and then.

A good friend of mine just bought a set of Klipsch F2 towers and a KSW 12" sub for a grand, brand new from a box store. They sound real good for the listening he does.

Can't say they are the best but I use Mackie 624MkII powered studio monitors in my office and listen to a lot of rock music.
I've had them in a much larger room with more room to breathe and did not feel a sub was completely necessary (but would have been alot of fun).
Not audiophile high-end, but FUN.

Thanks for the responses guys. I really appreciate them.

I have decided on purchasing an Outlaw Audio RR2150 Receiver. If this makes a difference, is there any speakers that particularly match up very well with this receiver, if anyone has the particular experience? I have the opportunity to purchase a pair of B&W 704's as well but am not sure if they are the right fit.
