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.

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.
