Small Monitors and Book shelves for Rock Music?

I was going to suggest Silverline Minuets but then I saw your budget (they currently retail for only $800 I think). Excellent little speakers that can fill a medium sized room. They are rear ported and if you put them near a wall you can get a surprising amount of bass from a 4-inch driver in a small box. You might want to check out some of the larger, more expensive Silverline monitors.

Have a look at some Lenehan ML-1's.

Bc63...Thanks
Took a look at Lenehan ..appears to be put together better than most.
Any body else familiar with and heard Lenehan ML 1's and 2's?

One of the best small speakers I've had were PSB M2 Platinums. Great speaker for rock along with a good sub it is one compact system that performs like a big system.

I have since replaced them with a pair of Revel M106 which sound phenomenal, they just don't rock out quite as loud. These speakers with my REL R305 is a kick ass little system.

These are the only two small speakers I could run full range that produced decent bass. With just the right amount of sub at under 60 Hz these speakers sound much bigger than they are without the sub calling attention to itself.

Movies and BluRay concerts sound very convincing in 2.1 through the Revel /REL combo.

Thanks to Oddiofyl
Will also check Revel M106
