Hello Jazznut
Here's a contrary opinion - consider a pair of M3Tis and a subwoofer. I don't know what kind of amplification you are using, but the M3Tis have incredible imaging, enormous soundstage, terrific highs, and great mids. I think there's less 'cabinet' sound from a small bookshelf than floorstanders. For jazz I'd recommend a pair of M3Tis or even M2is. For hometheater, I'd definitely go with the M60s.
