Which speaker for 30 watts amplification at $1000?

I like the look, size and price of the following speakers and am considering to match with my Pas XA30.5. I am looking for speakers that are easy to drive, have no front grill mounting holes, are relatively short (38" or less), have small footprint and have nice wood finishes all for in and around $1000 new or used.

B&W CM7
Monitor Audio RS6 or RS8
Meadowlark Kestrel2

Any thoughts which would be best for Rock music?
