After listening to many speakers, I purchased a pair of Nautilus 805s. I believe these small Nautilus speakers to be the finest bookshelf models I've heard at any price. They offer high levels of refinement and craftsmanship. I've heard the larger Nautilus models and found each to be excellent. Probably the best approach is to make a selection based on the bass response needed for your listening room. The 805s seemed the best choice for my small 12x15 music room. B&W is a quality company- even their $250 DM-302s sound great.
