Acoustic Zen Adagio or Adagio Jr.'s are worth a demo. Less expensive, but also very good for the price is Dynaudio Acoustics BM15P 1099.00 or less for a pair new.
Speaker recommendation
Im considering Totem Hawks (a big purchase for my budget) but dont know if it will be a good match for my gear/room. What do you think? I have a McCormack Pre-amp and McCormack DNA .5 amp which produces a very clean and sweet 100 watts per channel. My room is concrete floor with drywall walls, open to the rest of the house at 1 end of the room. If not the Hawks, any suggestions. Thanks.
