Bookshelf

I have an office 19' x 12.5'.  It is split between office and media making stands difficult or impossible to place.  I have bookshelves on the 12.5 wall with width of 24" and adjustable shelves.


Ok is there a speaker that can operate acceptably in that bookshelf.  I am still listening to a 30 year old pair of inexpensive Klipsch models and would like to step up.  Music: British progressive, rock, jazz, folk and classical in about that order.  Nothing particularly face melting.  Unless you include some King Crimson in that category.

Say a max budget of $2500.  Is this possible? Suggestions?

Thanks

My usual response would be something from KEF. The new Wharfedale Linton's look really interesting too (if not too big). They would have satisfying bass I would imagine.

Even the non-CT Vandy VLR's would be a great choice.
Unless you are doing some serious listening in you office, it probably makes more sense to get the non-CT version which costs considerably less than the CT.
I am using the VLR's in my office, too. (Roughly 10x12x8) and have them mounted near the corners of the ceiling, angled downward. Not the greatest placement, but they sound great and are out of the way.
I also have a pair of HSU subs, though when I disconnected the subs, I was impressed by how low those little speakers can go.
