If the speakers must sit on a shelf, I'd suggest you get a sealed-box design. Many small bookshelf speakers have a port or vent. When such speakers are placed in a shelf or too near a back wall, the result is fat and muddy bass frequencies. It's one of the ironies of high-end equipment that many so-called "bookshelf speakers" work best when placed on stands two or three feet into the room. So, given your requirements for shelf mounting, and given your mostly classical and jazz listening preferences, I'd suggest these two sealed-box monitors:
Spendor S3/5
Harbeth HL-P3
There's a pair of Harbeths currently on sale on Audiogon for $600. (I have no personal connection to this sale -- but I can vouch that the Harbeths are great little speakers -- you can do a Google search for the Stereophile review.)
Note that I own both of these speakers and enjoy them both. Both are used in small rooms. The Spendors are placed right against a wall in an office system. The Spendors are a bit on the warm and forgiving side. The Harbeths (original version, not the current revised version) are a bit more detailed (but not irritating) and amazingly transparent. Both are tremendously musical and satisfying.
Both of these speakers are not terribly efficient, but if your room isn't too big, then either of the NAD amps (325BEE or 352) will work fine. I have owned the 325BEE and found it a very good performer, especially considering the price. I doubt that you'd hear much if any difference between it and the 352. I'd suggest you put your money into the speakers.
