Another "Help me choose my speakers" thread


Just looking for some suggestions on upgrading speakers for a 2 channel music setup.

I'm currently using a Marantz 2230 and I plan to keep it around for awhile.

My room is rather small, 11.5ft x 9ft, 7ft ceiling.

I listen to jazz, rock, and bluegrass inspired music.

I won't spend more than $1000 or less than $500

I have been reading many forums and just about loosing my mind with indecisiveness. Some of my considerations have been floor standing, like the Klipsch RP-6000F, Wharfedale Diamond 9.6, or the Fuance Signature Series. Some have been bookshelf,  like the Martin Logan Motion 15, Wharfedale Denton, or the Focal Chorus 706. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

It seems like unless you plan to blast the music, they should work.
Here ya go. Just buy these. FANTASTIC all-around speakers and not fussy about upstream electronics. You’ll be thrilled!

Or, if you really want to overachieve and blow your own doors off, there are these beauties...

Frankly, the latter are probably way above what you're looking for or expecting, but if and when you eventually upgrade your electronics, these will reward you in spades.  If you're aspiring to truely better and high-end stereo sound, stick a crowbar in your wallet and just buy these.  You can thank me later. 
Thanks everyone! This is the first time I’ve actually participated in a thread instead of just reading through them, and it was unbelievably helpful. I purchased the Spendor s6e’s as the price was right, I’ve always like two way speakers (I have much more experience in car audio), and all of the reviews I could find seemed to pinpoint exactly what I was looking for as "pros".
Big shout-out to @yogiboy 
First of all, try to listen to as many as you can, since it is easy for us to recommend what we own or like. We are all different. On that note, look for a pair of " B " stock Klipsch Heresy IIIs. They will work with your Marantz ( very efficiant and an easy load ), are very dynamic, fast, melodic, coherent, and overall a very fun and musical pair of speakers. They can be placed near, or further, from a wall, whichever you like, and can image and soundstage as well as anything. Horns are popular in Japan, and they are making a resurgence here ( although I have preferred them for 50 years over any other design ). Read the reviews, by reviewers. Enjoy ! MrD.
Those Spendor 6se are very nice looking, have great reviews and should provide many hours/years of listening fun.  Probably a good choice with your music genres as well.  Post up your impressions after you have some time with them vs the 301.
