I have the same size room (10x12x8) and have tried many difffernt monitors (Traingle, B&W, Joseph Audio etc). Currently the ProAc 1SC's have been the best by a large margin. However, they need to be at least 15 inches from the rear wall. I was skeptical since they are rear ported but they sound great in my small room. I set them up on the long wall and listen in the nearfield (don't really have a choice in my room) The ProAc's require very high quality speaker stands and top notch electronics to yeild the most perfomance. I am driving them with an Audio Resarch VT-50 (45 watt tube amp) directly connected to a Wadia 860x fully balanced.
Need help with a pair of small speakers
I need recommendations for a pair of small standmounts for my guest bedroom. The room is only 10x12x8 and the speakers will have to be virtually flat against the wall. Will be used mostly for vocals, soft jazz, and choral music at low to moderate levels. My particular concern is for accuracy, resolution, microdynamics. Need to keep the cost under $2K. Harbeths have been highly recommended. Other possibilities? Thanks in advance.
