Monitors For Near Field Low Volume Listening

I'm looking for some good monitors that are good for low level listening in a smaller room (about 12x12 with 6ft ceiling). I listen to mostly jazz and like speakers that give detailed but full sound. My gear is Mac C220 pre and AR100.2 amp. I've used single drivers (left over from classic tube days), Totem Rainmaker and recently bought some Vandersteen 2Ces just because I missed that "big sound". Well, the speakers are indead too big. So, it's back to some monitors or small column speakers. My budget is no more that $1500 new or used. Thanks

Hi Bob,
I thought the SA-1'S to be very bright in my system,I have had many different Spendors and this was the only one I did not care for,I can listen to the 3/5'S for hours they are more involving they draw me into the music alot more but that is just my taste.

Spendor 3/5r's are a great speaker $1500 new,I replaced Vandersteens years ago with Spendors and became a Spendor lover since.
