When I was setting up my 2ch gear, I replaced the Super Clef’s with a pair of Marantz Imperial 6G’s. I replaced the caps & tweeters & made a new grill for them so they looked good. I actually really liked them whether they were playing music, movies or my sons games. You can find them really cheap these days as well. I know you said no DIY but a really nice set that’s been gone through will likely run you $100-150. They are a bit large for bookshelves though. I have a poor picture of that setup from about 10yrs ago & before I made the grills. I’ll try to find & post so you can see that they are “larger” bookshelves.
Size isn't really a factor as long as they aren't tall floor standing speakers since I'll be using floor standing speakers for the "stands" and as nostalgia pieces to relive my youth from time to time. And I feel you get more for your money when you're not paying for a tall cabinet that may or may not be fully utilized by the woofer.
They might say "don't try this at home" but nothing about not trying it at your friend's house.
The receiver is a Denon 990. As we talked if you find the Denon not satisfactory enough for front speakers you could run it for your surrounds, dsp, and audio decoder (it supports up to TrueHD and DTS-MA) then use the front L R preout to a 2 channel amp.
These are on sale for a decent price.

These seem to get pretty good reviews.

I've got a pair of these that are surprising on the low end and amazingly realistic.

Right now it's looking like the Wharfdale's linked above and the Elac's I linked are the two front runners. Also wanting to stick with a 6.5" woofer for better room filling capability. I really want to give the Klipsch rp600m a try but the price just isn't justifiable at this point.
