Ok so I started off with Bose 201s, which blow and i want to sell, then got the Bose AM3 cube set, which honestly is small cute and neat for like.....video gaming. Then I got the cheaper Polk surround sound package the RM stuff i think it is. Then got Polk Monitor 30s, and PSW112 sub in cherry. Then I got the Boston Horizon? floor standing speakers, and they are nice but sound a bit hollow, they're made out of plastic anyway, I like them cause they have nice detail and fairly deep bass, and a very transparent sound.
BUT lately I went back to the monitor 30s, without the sub hooked up, and I was thinking, if I get rid of the 201s, and save a bit more, I want to get a "nice" set of bookshelfs. SO.......
I was thinking Paradigm Atoms-my friend has the mini monitors (a series or so old) and they sound nice, but almost a little too..."dead"
I was also thinking the RTI A3 would be good, although a bit big, I heard the RTI A3 and A1 and liked the 3 more, but it's huge.
What else is there for strictly 2 channel, cheap-esqe BOOKSHELF speakers?

...."Cheap-esque"
For $300 you could pick up some Polk SDA CRS speakers, you won't go back to ordinary bookshelf speakers.

I would consider these if I didn't already have a variant.

cheap meaning under $400, and also i prefer new, and on the smaller side. I'm not sure how big those tannoys are, or the older polks, but unless they sound amazing I was even hesitant about the new RTis, they're big freaking bookshelfs. Thanks for the ideas though, it's just more so for used I don't want to have to have them shipped to CT.

Don't limit yourself to "new" stuff. Monitor 5Jr+ in good condition have been showing up on CL lately for cheap, and I'm talking $50 a pair. That's a great little speaker on the cheap that out-performs a lot of equipment more expensive. (Especially if you give it the RDO treatment
)
