Rockin Speaker under $1000 used


I have a small room (12' x 12') and like Alt. rock but listen to a bit of everything. I want speakers that are dynamic, clear, powerful, and have bass. They should not be harsh or too IN-YOUR-FACE. Ill be driving the speakers with a Jolida 302B tube amp. I have IXOS Super Gamma 7 bi-wire and Audience Conductor interconnects.

So far I think im going to get Energy Connoisseur C-9's. If anyone knows of a speaker better than this that will go well with my tube amp please tell me. Thanks

Your asking for a lot. The Jolida is not exactly what the doctor ordered when it comes to high energy output to power big bass. Try used paradigms studio 100 for a cleanish speaker with heavy bass. I don't think they will have the high impedance that a bass heavy speaker inherently seems to lower when the music demands it. You may ultimately have to get a powered subwoofer which I don't love the sound of- and some monitors that the 302 would be a good match for. My own rock em sockem speakers that are supposed to match well with tubes are Heritage Klipsch La Scalas (less than $1,000) with 104db/w/m but I think they are going to be to bright up top for you. The seller of the 302 didn't help you pick out speakers of your preference?
