Best Monitor Speaker?

I am putting together a new secondary system for my dining room, based around a new NAD C352 integrated amp (80 wpc) and a Rotel RCD-1072 CD player. I would appreciate some recommendations for a set of monitor speakers that would work with this system, with a ceiling price limit of about $800 (used). This system will be almost exclusively used for jazz, jazz big band, jazz standard and small ensemble classical music.

Thank you in for any feedback, it is greatly appreciated.

Craig,

Due to an error in the Audio Advisor pull down menu you can get a pair of the Energy RC-10 in Rosenut (which is a very nice looking finish) for $333.33 a pair. If you buy them in Black or Cherry it's $599.00 a pair.

What's funny here, is when click on the pull down for the Energy RC-10 Rosenut speakers it brings you to page where in the upper right hand corner the following is stated.

"Special Pricing - Buy 1 for $333.33 each"

But when you look under the option column, it clearly states.

"Pair - Rosenut $333.33"

I contacted Audio Advisor last week and asked them which one was the real price and I was told that it was the price under the option column which is $333.33 a pair in Rosenut. Btw, I just checked the Audio Advisor site just before posting this, and they still haven't corrected the ad.

At $600 these speakers can easily hold their own with any monitors under a $1000. At $333.33 a pair there is absolutely no competition.

As Soulbrass mentioned, read the Soundstage review, as the reviewer was pretty accurate in his review of these speakers.
