You may also want to look at Rega RS3. I have a similar-size room to yours. I went through alot of different speakers through the years in that room including Magnepan 1.6's, Martin Logan Aerius, Monitor Audio RS6, Thiel 1.2, and the list goes on. All were very fine speakers, but they seemed to overpower the room and excite it too much. I now have the Rega RS3 and they seem to fit just right in a room this size. They are easy to drive and sound very transparent and smooth. They also have adequate bass with the side-firing woofer, without exciting the room too much. I am not saying they are the ultimate speaker, but for me, they are a much better match to the room than speakers I owned in the past. Also they seem nicely built (in the UK) and you can buy them new for around $1,000.
Floorstanders for small room 10x10ft
I'm looking for a stereo setup with floorstanders for music (acoustic, classical & electronic dance music) & movies in my bedroom.
My criteria is that is has to have bass & slam for movies and dance music but also a great midrange and realism for acoustic music & movies...
The speaker need to be placed as close to the wall as possible (4-12" maximum). Where I live in Mexico most bedrooms are this small, even in 3bd villas. So it shouldn't overload the room.
I prefer not to go the subwoofer route (integration issues) and I don't need rumble bass for FX in movies but 30-35Hz would be nice.
I've been looking at Tekton Katz Meow V3, Schweikert VR-33 (too big?), GR Audio N3 and the Gallo Classico 3 (perhaps too short to reach over the bed)..
Any other suggestions for speakers and comments on the candidates are welcome.
For amplification I'll decide based on speaker choice between hybrid amps (Monarchy 160 or Van Alstine 400R) and maybe tubes (Decware TORII)
