Have look at Edifier speakers on eBay.

For around $250 there's the Pioneer DM40, 

They're really quite good, I sold a $600 pair of monitors and kept the Pioneer because they're more balanced.

Not a big fan of budget active spkrs. You are stuck with a budget amp with budget drivers. If funds are tight suggest technics SB-1950 floor standers (but real estate is probably an issue since the request for active bookshelf), in any case the SB-1950's can be had for about $70-$100, they look ordinary(?) and the highs are somewhat harsh (recap crossover) but the tones, sound stage and bass are decent. I picked mine up for $80- and use then to demo budget amps, be misleading(?) to use the osborn epitome's. Plenty of cheap vintage amps about...
