Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room


I know that this is a tough one, because speakers are so subjective.  My dedicated 2 channel listening room is only 10ft x 10ft.  I listen to mostly jazz and rock.  I currently use a Plinius SA100 Mk III (recapped and upgraded) driving Joseph Audio RM25XL's.  I'm thinking of upgrading and was wondering what speakers would be a good upgrade for a small listening room.  I like the Joseph Audio sound, but want more.  I was thinking of Pulsars or maybe Perspectives.  First, is my room too small for floor standing speakers? Second, what other speakers in the $8-10K range used would be a good fit in a small room?

No you changed your post to cover that you had misquoted me.

You’re wrong. I only changed my post to reflect your actual statement. It’s because I didn’t want to misquote you. Are you intentionally being obtuse with all this cover up talk? Besides anybody can edit his post for any reason. I certainly don’t have to consult you. Furthermore you’re wrong about small rooms anyway, so who cares?
Give me a break. What are you talking about? I edited my post to quote exactly what you said. And what you said is patently untrue.
wiilemj, you stated,

”Good deep bass in a small room is quite simply impossible.”

That’s simply untrue for the reasons I gave.
The wavelength of 20Hz is 17 meters. So by your logic almost no listening room can produce 20 Hz. I propose that most rooms, even small rooms, can support 20 Hz simply because acoustic waves can bend around the boundaries of the room. It’s the same reason why the acoustic Schumann Frequency of 7 Hz - the wavelength of which is obviously much longer than 17 meters - can be produced in any size room. An more extreme example is the electromagnetic Schumann frequency that has a wavelength equal to the circumference of the Earth, 25,000 miles. Yet the Schumann frequency generator produces the electromagnetic 7.8 Hz frequency in any size room. Hel-loo!
Did the character in the Peanuts comic strip get his name from the Schroeder frequency? He played the piano and was cuckoo for Cocoa Pops about classical music. 😳
