Full sounding Bookshelf speakers music only

I'm trying to find a nice full sounding bookshelf, or monitor pair for a new set-up. I have a nad c740, and I'm looking for a good match. I have a budget of $400.00. I don't want to use a sub. This will be for music only. I listen to everything from classical to metal. Thanks.

What do you consider a "bookshelf" sized speaker? Are you really going to use them in a bookshelf or would "reasonably sized" floorstanders work too? Sean

I find the NHT bookshelf speakers in that price range to be quite good for the money.

If you can live without alot of bass, the JMlab Chorus 706S is a reasonably priced small bookshelf. I got mine to go with the new Cambridge Audio Azur 640C/640A (CD player/integ. amp). For about $1000, this is a very musical small second system for my kitchen area. I believe it is reviewed in the current HiFi plus mag.

Sorry, that is $1000 for the whole system, the speakers should be under $400 US

I don't have a large space to fill(15x12), so I figured the bookshelf would be the way to go. I'm not against floorstanding speakers, but at $400.00 a decent pair is probably hard to come by.
