Nearfield speakers for rock/amplified music?

99% of my music listening is sitting at my computer while working. I listen mostly to instrumental fusion which is often dynamic and dense. I had been using Genelec powered studio mixing monitors for the last year or so. They handle the dynamics and power of the music well, and they are not fatiguing. So I just switched over to a pair of Krix Equinox, and I'm really liking the improved imaging and the sort of emotional energy (you know that felling of excitement that grabs you in the chest that the monitors lack). But on the denser recordings they get a little lost or overpowered (these speakers really excel for delicate, sparce recordings of female voice, or more acoustic music, but that's not what I listen to.) So now I'm back to thinking I need an improved set of Hi Fi bookshelf system, rather than the studio monitors. Problem is that the speakers would be backed into the corner of the room up against the wall and right next to my 30" monitor. Not exactly ideal placement for a good bookshelf speaker.

Any recommendations on options? Who makes a good bookshelf that can handle all the density and power of the amplified music I listen to, but do so musically? and perform in this placement? My speaker budget is $600-1000 used, but I could probably find more $ if the solution is right. I'm using a 50x2 Rotel power amp, that could easily be replaced with something in the future.
