Small speaker suggestions

Hello all, I'm looking for speaker suggestions. I have listened to Totem Arros Dynaudio excite 12 as well as some B and W. The dyns and B and W were being played through a switch box that may have contributed but neither impressed.

My budget is 500 - 700 for a small bookshelf or floor standing speaker.

I listen to a lot of rock as well as jazz. I want something that shows the details in the jazz recordings but doesn't reveal the flaws in the rock recordings.

After getting a chance to listen to them for a while here are my impressions:

-Truly full range speaker (I didn't realize how much I got used to not hearing the bass and the high frequencies as well
-The full range really makes the soundstage believable and fills up the room
-Detail in all ranges (hearing things I never heard before
-It gets the texture of different instruments correct
-More dynamic
-Space - instruments have their own location within the soundstage

Recently picked up some KEF LS50's. Awfully good. Pretty amazing for the size of the box. Lots of technology in these guys.

I agree with joc3021 however for more dynamics and a bit more forgiving with rock, I would get the kef r300 same technology with added bass driver. Good luck
