I second the Aerials 7b or 6. The eights would overpower that size room. Be careful placing a larger speaker in that room, as it will be easy to over drive the room and you will not be sitting far enough away for proper driver integration. Have fun with your search and try a few speakers in your room if at all possible.
Best new or used speakers for under 3K?
I am redoing my sound system and am looking for new main speakers. The center, surrounds, and a good sub will come later. For now I want to focus on high quality mains. I have already received the Integra DHC 9.9 pre/pro and the B&K 200.7 amp is on the way. I want to run a 5.1 system bi-amping the mains. I have been looking hard at the PSB Synchrony One's and the cheapest I have found them is about $3,600 +S/H. I need some suggestions from you guys. My room is about 12' X 14'.
