Bookshelf speaker for an apartment

Thanks, they do look cool.  Such a bad time to shop without the abilty to listen.  I think I will need to wait and hopefully things will open up in a month or two.  I'm a shopper so I will revisit then.  

Thank you.

There is a dealer near me that sells B&W and Vandy.  They also have closeout on a NAD T758 for $499.  I will check them out.

Thank you all for so many good suggestions.  I am still not used to being in an apartment and listening to music and theater the way I am used to.  In my home theater I have the following:

Sopra 2 Fronts
Sopra Aria Center (due to space limits)
B&W 805D3's Rears (Fronts prior to the Sopra's)
2 REL T7i's
Anthem AVM60
Parasound A52+

So for the part time apartment I don't think I want to go with a sub or too crazy in price.  I have not yet heard any of the speakers we are discussing but my gut is leaning toward the Focal Chora or Aria, although I had not considered upgrading to better Totems which is an interesting idea too. I do plan on upgrading the Denon to a better multi-channel receiver.

Thanks again all.

Has anyone had experience with Accessories For Less?  They have some Focal Factory Refurbs with full warranty.  

Well I ended up pulling the trigger today.  I ordered Factory Refurbished Aria 906 in Black for $899 and full 5 year warranty.  I am hoping they are in the perfect condition that they claim.  I will keep you posted when I receive them and test them out.  

First of all  I have to say I am impressed with the service.   I ordered the Aria 906 yesterday and I received them today at 11:15 with free delivery.  I was pretty surprised.
I set them up immediately although I do not have stands yet so they are on my TV stand right next to my TV, and the easiest way to get started was to play some of my artists on Pandora. 

I listened to a couple of songs and it sounded good, but of course Pandora is not the best source.  I went into my office to reply to an email and all of a sudden I jumped from seat in a wow moment.  Dire Straits, Once Upon a Time in the West came on  the speakers really shined.  Great detail and clarity, but yet a comfortable warmth.  It was a moment of affirmation that I made the right move. 

I then played some other artists like Eva Cassidy, Delta Rae and Joe Bonamassa and the speakers sound great without the best conditions or equipment.  They are not my Sopra 2's, but hard to imagine a better pair of bookshelves for $899.  Needless to say I am pleased with the purchase and the vendor.

I am sure I will upgrade my Denon soon and probably get a sub, which they do need btw.  

I did my first serious listening last night as I received my stands.  I have to agree with all the reviews, they sound great.  Very natural, very musical and full bodied at both lower and higher volume.  I even felt my sofa vibrate a bit from the base which really surprised me.  And they are totally non fatiguing.  I may still get a sub and will probably get my Aria center next time I'm home, but this was a very good purchase and a darn good sound for an apartment, for not a lot of money.

Thanks again to everyone for their input.
