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.

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.

Rabco...Yes I have. They are not the typical wall mount as the sound is well beyond expectation. I found them to have qualities of "conventional" Focal designs. Dynamic, detailed without being fatiguing, great high frequency extension. Also they image well. And they can be played loud. Yes..for your needs I think it is the best wall mount. I would actually consider the stand config in a 2 channel setup. I would recommend using a sub as you plan.
