I know they aren't the most expensive audiophile speakers, but i love my Paradigm Studio Refrence 40's. I auditioned them agains the b&w nautalises (the bookshelf model) and i found the b&w's a bit too etched in the high end. The paradigms made me feel an emotional connection as well as having good frequency response and excellent imaging. i paid about 800 dollars for my pair and i'm extremely happy. I plan on upgrading my amplifier soon, and that will make a big difference in the sound quaity (using a 90wpc Rotel now)

Just make sure you get good stands, they make a huge difference in the tightness of the low end
