Best wall mount speakers under $1k better yet $750

Looking for opinions on the best new or used speakers for under $1k. They need to be designed to be wall mounted/book shelf, as floor mounting is out of the question. I'll most likely wind up running them as satellites off of a pair of passive subwoofers.
amp: Ideal Innovations Elite 80 (tube)
pre: Transcendent Sound line amp (tube)
source: Mac nas thru a Mac Mini, HagUSB SPDIF converter, Nelson Link III DAC
I like my digital source with tube sound....I guess I characterize the speakers I would be replacing (Legacy Monitors) as neutral. I like clean delicate highs with no stridency, and open detailed vocals. I listen to a wide variety of styles, tho mostly rock, folk, and jazz.

Rello, et al
Have you auditioned these speakers?
Has anyone had an opportunity to hear these things in action?

Is it the price range that's stumping the peanut gallery (hard to believe I'm the only one trying to get the most for my buck) ;-)
Or is it the wall mounting......or both!

Onemug: Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check out the NHT line.
Rello: The Focal Domes sound like contenders. I'll look into these, as well.
