Your living room...is a living room. You are not setup for a listening room as far as I can tell.
Book Shelf Speaker advice - Formerly Book Shelf Dilemma
Hello all. I posted this earlier under the title Book Shelf Dilemma. Thank you to the many who replied with excellent advice and suggestions. Some responders asked about the room dimensions and as I investigated the suggested speakers I concluded that the room dimensions and furniture set up may be important to consider. So, I am reposting with a schematic of the room which shows the Bay Windows and furniture as well as a note that the insulation between my apartment and the unit below is marginal. I make this point with the understanding that a Sub Woofer may be good to include.
Note: I want to position the speakers along the Bay Window facing back into the apartment and dining/kitchen area. Most of my listening is done from this area.
Budget - $1000.00 (with stands would be a bonus)
Amplifier - McCormack DNA 0.5
Pre - McCormack ALD-1
Source - Cambridge 851N - Spotify Premium
Music preferences - fairly eclectic
Jazz (Bony James, Lee Ritenour, Paul Harris, Bob James)
Female Vocals (Eva Cassidy, Duffy, Sarah Jarosz, Nadine Anderson)
1980’s Rock (Emerson Lake & Palmer, Yes, Dave Mason)
Thank you all for your suggestions and advice1

The new LSA Signature 50 may be right up your alley. There’s a link for member Terry’s glowing review in Stereo Times in the ad page below, and they can be had with stands for $800. Alternatively you could just buy the speakers for $600 and the Monoprice stands (link below) for about $90 and save around $110. Best of luck. https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/lsa-speakers https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24794
