'smallish' room, what I would do
1. liberate myself from the spell in question
2. buy some pair of active speakers including stands (e.g. Edifier, Klipsch, Argon)
3. place them correctly
4. if necessary (and if even possible in a small room), think about room treatment
5. enjoying the music
4. be happy saving big money which I can use for my 'real' listening room' or just buying some really nice cases of Shiraz
