I need some advice on speakers..


I'm selling my Martin Logan Odysseys to try a speaker with a smaller footprint. My room is fairly small 15X18, and I have a glass door on the right side of the room. On speaker will wind up more in the corner than the other due to a hallway.

The speakers I've been thinking about are:

The new Audio Physic Virgo III
The Von Schweikert VR-5
The Merlin VSM-M
The Coincident Super Eclipse
The VMPS monitor speaker the small on with the two 8's.

the coincidents are great if you're an SET fan, otherwise i'd steer clear.

b/w the VR5s and the VSM-ms, i've heard both...and thought the VSMs were much better. your room is ideally sized...but i wonder about the liberties you'll have to place them. if you're limited w/ what you can do in placement, you may just want to save your $$ and get something mid-fi.

the speakers you're talking about are great speakers if you'll give them what they need...bad placement isn't what they need. if you can't place them properly, why not some standmount ACIs Jags or Sapphire 3s w/ a very small footprint?

email me off line if you want to know more about the 2 setups i heard of the VSMs and the VR5s.

but this much i can say for certain: they are NOT bright. if they sound bright / dull / romantic, its what is upstream.
