Nobody is going to suggest a pair NHT C1 ?

Now Hear This being one of those long standing, good sounding speakers brands that's quite affordable. Easy to drive, well made and doesn't try to lend 'it's own' sound.
I'd second the Paradigm ATOMs that others have suggested. Still pretty hard to improve on for the size and price.
The powered Adams are for tracking / mixing and while they will reproduce a dynamic, detailed and full scale range of what's been recorded they're meant to be impartial and they are. No imaging what so ever, that's for home audio speakers. I use their big brothers at work in the studio and they're great but I'd hate to have to listen to them for long at home. IMHO
