Best stand/bookshelf speakers under 1.2k

[Karppila]

I am looking for a pair of bookshelf speaker to replace my floorstanding speakers in my living room 5.1 setup. Now I am in search of the best possible stand/bookshelf speakers to replace them with.

book shelf speakers wont be as big as floorstanding but,
i do recommend these classics, i love the all around sound of them, slightly larger then normal bookshelf and dont let the decent price fool ya. they perform great

If you don't mind DIY then either X-LS Encores or CSS Criton 1TDs  With the upgrade crossover they far exceed speakers 2 or 3 times their cost.
