Can recommend some non-fatigue SMALL bookshelf for near-field listening?

I was going to suggest the Buchardt A500 since you can't have a subwoofer and want bass.  But your budget and available room for speakers are mutually exclusive to your performance goals. 

Within your budget, sacrificing deep bass, check out the Vienna Acoustics Haydn or the Harbeth P3ESR.  You might be able to squeeze a small subwoofer in somewhere later on.  Perhaps something tiny like the KEF KC62.

i would agree that fritz's standmounts are excellent sounding, faitgue free and a good value

Best nearfield I’ve heard is Rogers LS3/5a with Sugden or Belles integrateds. Sublime!

When I first heard the Harbeths, it stopped me dead in my tracks. 
liked them so much, when I became a Mytek dealer, I added them for the small footprint. Add a pair of Skylan stands for a reasonable cost if you need them.

The P3esr xd has gone thru a major redesign, with crossovers and drivers. 
the woods are gorgeous. 

P3ESR XD is reported to sound brighter than the original P3ESR.

I would vote P3ESR for your requirement. Anything warmer than this the treble would be rolled off and sound pretty dead.

Sonus Faber older models such as Concertino or Concerto also sound warm. However, the main difference between Sonus Faber warm and Harbeth warm is in clarity and detail. Although the Harbeth sounds warm, the clarity and detail are quite good. It's more transparent than the Sonus Faber. With the SF, you lose detail which in turn affects clarity. The result is you appear to be listening to the speakers with a thick blanket covering it.
