Are there any bookshelf speakers that sound good on a bookshelf?

Due to aesthetic considerations I am pretty much confined to using bookshelf speakers.   I have a REL t5 subwoofer that fills out the base nicely in a 12 x 16 room but want a true bookshelf speaker that can sit on a bookshelf that images well, has a sweet midrange and creates a large soundstage.   I’ve previously been using  Klipsch Heresy III as my “bookshelf” speakers and have a pair of B&W 805 D3’s on their way for a listen.  Budget is up to about $8k.  
What have you heard that might be worth a deeper dive that fills this description?

Vandersteen VLR CT.

Had a pair for about two years now and really like them. (Paired with Ayre integrated.) They are especially good at low to mid volume listening (about 85dB and below.) Room is 20x14. In fact, I plan to go Vandersteen when I step up to floor-standers, based on my experience with the VLRs. Exceptional.
