good stand speakers with good low end

I like to keep the purchase under $1,000 a pair. Just curious if anyone has suggestions for good sounding bookshelfs with good low end. I live in condo, so floorstanders are not possible at the moment. NHT classic 3's come up a lot. Klipsh are way too bright for my tastes. I lean toward neutral to warm sound.

Chayro is correct concerning the space required for floorstand speakers. My system is in a small room where some people would insist on monitors. I rotate a pair floorstand speakers in and out with monitors. The towers actually take less space.

I have a set in a back room and they are quite good, especially in the base department.

I always thought I would get better bang for the buck with stand mound speakers vs lower end floor standing units. I figured more cost associated with larger cabinet. Many lower end floor standers are have same driver configuration as stand mount.

One of the guys at Stereophile (John Marks maybe??) said that the break between bookshelves and towers was something like $3K and everything I've seen myself supports that within reason.
