Mini Monitors for Rotel RA-1520 Integrated


What would be a great match for this amp in a 9.5' x 12' room where the speakers must reside well above seated ear level on a shelf on the short wall? Wide variety of musical tastes. Not looking for speakers that don't "come alive" until they're played loud.....need something that can be played low with very high quality (elderly folks in room next door). Something that sounds "perfect" with, say, an Eva Cassidy vocal in addition to being a world class performer all around in the $1500 per pair and under category...

Ascend Acoustics Sierra-1 (~$900 new)?? Great speaker; rave reviews (check online). Look for "warm" and "neutral" speakers for that amp, since Rotel is known to be on the bright side of sound.

In case you want to know, my Monitor Audio RS1 perform great at low volume even in a room slightly larger than yours; however, they are way below your budget and not a good match with Rotel. In my opinion, the RS1 are great speakers that perform way above their value.
My two cents
Cheers
