Snowman,
I bought a pair of Pinnacle PN+5 bookshelf speakers on the advice of a review by Julian Hirsch in Stereo Review. This was a little more than ten years ago and I still am amazed by the sound they produce given their size of about 12"H x 7"W x 7"D. An angled bass port helps with the low end. They are pretty heavy, about 15 pounds each, I guess. Sorry that most of this info is somewhat inexact. I'm writing this from memory while at work.
I'm not familiar with that Pinnacle is doing now (I think they're still around), but they may have something in what you're looking for
at a reasonable price. Although I can't recall what I paid (at Tweeter), but I know when I bought the PN+5's, they couldn't have been more than $250.00 for the pair.
Not to be nosey, but India?
I hope this helps. I know there will be many other Outlaws giving you their two cents.

Chris
