Active Speaker Recommendation

Looking for a "modern" styled active speaker in a bookshelf size to connect to an Apple TV for casual listening. Any recommendations? Budget is under 1K. I have a very high end main system but want something accessible to everyone else in the house. Needs to be placed near a wall.

If you can still find the closeout priced NHT active sub/sat combo (I believe it was the "S" series) which was designed for desktop use - either PC or nearfield monitoring - it's a very good value. It's not quite full range, but unlike most desktop options (even many of those with subwoofers) you could legitimately call it "extended bandwidth". Any of the NHT sub/sat speakers are IMHO excellent choices at their respective price points.

Good Luck

Actually, I think Macrojack identified the monitors I was referring to. The matching subs are either the s-10 or s-20.

Lots of good suggestions here. NHT M-OO and S-00 might be good is the speakers are right up against a wall (provided you can move the sub out into the room a little.

Thanks to everyone for the recommendations. I am going to use it for a fairly large space & will be stand mounting the speakers. I won't be using them as a desktop system (I wish, but way too many phone calls). That being said, these all sound easy to listen to so that might be what I do. I wouldn't mind more recommendations. Once again thanks.
