Small Monitors and Book shelves for Rock Music?

Looking for advise on small monitors and bookshelves that are capable of playing rock music well and with some volume.
Will be connected to a modded mac mini with linear power supply. Any amps recommended for the speaker advice will be appreciated.
Happy Upcoming Holidays to all!!

Linn Katan, is a great value and will do what you want. That said, knowing your budget would inform the question. Other posters' suggestion to go active is a good one. The Linn can go active, but is also really good without.

Again, don't know your budget but the Totem Performa3 Series "Ember" ($4200) would be one of the best you could find under $5K. Great bass, impeccable build quality, but pricey.

since no budget I'd go dynaudio C1 for the expensive and era d5 for the budget. thats $7k to 1K. both stand up to rock much better than you would suspect. good bass on both. both need a bit of room but what the heck you can trade perfect position for some slam.

Ooh, I'm so thinking some ATC monitors. You don't mention a budget but maybe some Exposure amps? I'd be looking hard at ATC regardless and figure out the amplification later. They'll rock your world.
