Bookshelf speaker recommendation

Hi, I’m looking for bookshelf speaker suggestions for my home office. Room is about 14 feet by 15 feet. These will be paired with my Peachtree Audio Nova. Source is computer audio. Listen to classic rock, jam bands, blues, jazz, etc. Looking for a full and rich sound. Well, at least with what you can get from a bookshelf speaker. In this room, listening at moderate sound levels.

Though no doubt not optimal from a sound quality perspective, these speakers will literally be placed in bookshelves. There are corner bookshelves that the prior owner had pre-wired that I am going to use. Shelf height of 13.5”, width of 34” and depth around 25”.
My budget is probably up to $1,500. But I could be willing to stretch for the right speakers. Ideas?

Chrshan, which speakers are those that you recommend? The Kef looking driver with a woofer underneath?
A pair of those for sale right now for $975 on Audio Circle.

Sb caribou, ribbons pair well with peachtree. Magnepan mmg mini's (I think that's the name) are paired together with peachtree gear often.

I have a nova pre/220 and just got my first pair of speakers with ribbon tweeters and they sound really good. The slightly laid back nature of the peachtree gear goes well with speakers that have revealing highs.

I think the powered sub would pair nice with peachtree nova. The nova, if the original model, didn't have a lot of grunt so the active feature would be nice.

How would you compare the the m1 to the ls50? they are similar money...

the M1's are passive, only the sub section is active, which might be a good idea since the Nova amp section is weak
