Budget American made speakers?

Can anyone recommend a decent sounding American made bookshelf speaker under $1000.  Is there such a thing?
Im starting to put together what you guys would call a "budget system".  I am planning on buying a rogue shpinx v2, but havent made a decision that yet. 
I typically try to buy American first but im finding it hard to find speakers within my price range.
Thanks

Magnepan MMG factory direct $650, they are not bookshelfs but will be a much better speaker than anything listed here. Try 'em, you can send them back if you don't like them. No-one does.

tschoroder, they aren't necessarily better.  That's subjective in audio.  The aren't bookshelf and set up isn't easy to get the most out of them.  I'm very familiar with all the Maggie line and like them when set up properly, so I'm not disparaging them by any means.  It's a good speaker to have on the list if he has the proper room to set them up.
