Classical music speaker recs for small room?

Hi,

I'm currently in the market for a pair of good classical music speakers that are under $500 and for a room roughly 120 square feet.

I don't intend to live in this box forever, which is why I don't want to invest in something bigger/more expensive. But---how can I put this---Altec-Lansing and Schubert aren't really on the best of terms right now, and I need a huge upgrade in order to make at least one of them happy (schubert).

I primarily listen to classical---especially newer music with sharp, percussive attacks; piano music; and the standard orchestral fare. Next on the list would be experimental/electronic music, jazz, bluegrass, etc. For what it's worth, I'm a classical musician myself and tend to be fairly picky when it comes to these things.

The Paradigm Atom V5 and PSB Alpha B have been recommended, but I'm willing to spend up to $500 and would welcome any recommendations in that ballpark. Also, I'm willing to get something a little too big for this space so that they can be of SOME use when I finally decide to move...

A million thanks,
Robert

Go here: MMG W On-Wall Speaker

They hang on the wall and you swing them out when you use them.

Upsides include: 1- They can flank a flatscreen TV set (made for that purpose). 2- They sound very, very good. 3- They are $325 a pair, NEW! 4- 60-day money back guarantee.

Downsides are: 1- the sweet spot is a little narrow (but not unuseably so). 2- They will positively, absolutely require the use of a sub. (but so will almost any other monitor you might choose)
