Looking for speaker ideas.


Looking for speaker ideas and room size is 11 w x 16 l x 9 ft ceilings.....room has acoustical panels. Music ranges from Big Band , Blues, Rock.

Equipment so far is :

Wyred 4 Sound st-500
deHavilland Mercury Preamp
Sim audio phono pre
VPI Industries HW-19 mkIII GLOSS BLACK W/MOERCH UP-4 / Ortofon Black

Have looked at different Spendor , Proac, Totem speakers but not sure if those would work for the rock music and would a sub be needed with those if they would be able to play rock music ?

Budget is $2000-2500

I have the Proac 140 MKII in approx same listening room as yours plenty of bass and huge soundstage, You may consider the  new Proac 148.
With good floor standing speakers such as the Proac Studio 148 you'll not need any sub for such relatively small room,however there are some serious standmount speakers with good bass capabilities such as the Bryston Mini T with 8' bass driver there will be no shortage of bass on your room listening with them.
