Need help with Speaker selection. Starter System.

I'm looking for a little help with speaker suggestions. I've narrowed the amp down to a Simaudio I-3, and the CD to a Denon 1650AR (used and great price). Cables and I/C's will be inexpensive $200 or so. My listening room is smaller 11'x 8' and I listen to wide variety of music. Mostly Jazz, Pop/Rock etc. Budget for speakers is $2,000. So far I liked the JM Lab Cobalt 826's (Demo's for $1,950) but I think they may be to large for the room. I also liked the B&W DM603's (very detailed) but also to large for the room. HELP! Has anyone listened to the PSB Image 5T?

Very good choice with the Simaudio I-3. I've heard it matched with several different JMlab speakers and it sounded great everytime. If the JMlab Cobalt 826's are too big have you looked at the 816's? Do you definetly want floorstanders or are you will to go with very good bookself speakers? For $2000 you could go with the JMlab Electra 906's, which I would highly recomend. The magazine Absolute Sound just put the 906's on their front cover and had a very good review of them. Well worth the read if you can get a copy of it. I beleive it is on their website.

Good Luck,
Brandon
