Budget American made speakers?


Can anyone recommend a decent sounding American made bookshelf speaker under $1000.  Is there such a thing?
Im starting to put together what you guys would call a "budget system".  I am planning on buying a rogue shpinx v2, but havent made a decision that yet. 
I typically try to buy American first but im finding it hard to find speakers within my price range.
Thanks

Klipsch Forte IIIs have a new mid horn that supposedly improved them (according to a salesman I met). I think most audio geeks are like me in the sense that since Klipsch "Heritage" stuff has been around so long we forget about it (the new stuff looks great but I have zero experience with those), and I was surprised at how refined the Heresy IIIs are…not much bass (I have subs so don't care) but they're coherant little masterpieces anyway, and still a great design that works. Compared to modern beautiful and shiny stuff from pretty much everybody else they do seem somewhat pedestrian square boxes, but get around that and partner them with good gear and man…sweet efficiency for days...
Klipsch Heresy IIIs, only because I recently bought a pair…the "Capitol" version was shipped to me instead of the cheaper, normal model, and the "damaged box" deal saved over a grand from list. Yes, the box had a smashed corner (speakers were safe), but I don't listen to the box anyway. Arkansas! HA…I changed the IIIs to a black grill because the stock "looks like a sweater" grill was saggy, not unlike an actual sweater. Weirdly, I now have a "hat trick plus" of USA built stuff…Schiit Freya tube preamp, Dennis Had "Inspire" SEP amp, and the Klipsch. Also a Schiit Loki EQ gizmo, and USA Morrow cables. I do like my Russian tubes, and consider them to be refugees.
