I didn't see a Revel or KEF that really seemed to fit my bill.

They need to fit on a high shelf to clear garage stuff and I'd like to run without a subwoofer so looking for good bass in a bookshelf size (under 28" tall) speaker.

I'd like them to be somewhat vintage looking, not that my garage has anything esthetically going for it.
I'd add the Mission 770 to that list. They're at the pricy end of your spectrum for the reissues, but the originals are available on ebay for around 2k.
I'm a huge fan of Mission speakers . They do everything well, and have incredible presence. I have 3 pair floating around here (2 bookshelf and one pair of large towers on my veranda). I was blown away when I heard the original 770's at a high end store in the 80's, and remain so every time I hear them now. https://www.stereophile.com/content/mission-770-loudspeaker
