take a listen to the Martin Logan Motion 35XT. $1200 USD retail, and i imagine they can be had for quite a bit less used. also, they should be easier to demo as best buy/magnolia typically has SOME type of Motion series speakers on demo. They tend to have very similar sounds, so even if they don't have the Motion35's, any other motion would give you a ballpark representation of how they sound.
I've owned them myself and favor them to my other bookshelf's (Dynaudio Excite 12's, Monitor Audio's). Lastly, a small subwoofer goes a long way. If not today, then in the future, just don't exclude it.
