Bookshelf Recommendations

Long time, first time here. Looking to upgrade my current speakers. While I know the best way to judge is by actually LISTENING to a set-up, I've read a lot of positive reviews of the SVS Ultimas. Does anyone here have first hand experience with those or a similar bookshelf at the +/-$1k price point?

My listening space is 12 x 12, with a Carver M1.5t power amp and CJ PV-12 pre.

NHT C3 simply can’t be beat for $1000. Downside is bass is only rated down to 55Hz. More neutral than the SVS as well as better imaging.

The Philharmonc BMR at <$1500 was a steal (sale price was only slightly higher than BOM), but Dennis had health issues and currently is retiring. 
 
EDIT: NHT C3 is only ~$700 on Amazon right now, this is a legit steal; add a subwoofer to fill in the low end.
