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

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.
ADS Speakers are great and can be found for way under 1K
Although the company is not around anymore you can find them used and in great condition.
Check out any of their Three Ways like The L810 710 L780 L880 etc
