Self powered speakers for Benchmark Dac1 Pre


Hi all

I'm thinking of switching gears a little and assembling a second system for the office using a Benchmark DAC1 Pre. I thought it would be interesting to match the Benchmark up with self powered/active speakers for a minimalist set up. Anyone have any suggestions under around $1k?

Obvious choices would include Quads, Dynaudios, maybe powered Paradigms. Any others?

The room is about 10 ft by 10 ft and I listen to a variety of music at moderate volume.

Thanks

Are you open to sitting near field? You will have a lot of studio options if you are.
Near field is about the same (a little more detailed) but you can get away with smaller speakers because they don't need to fill the room, only the listening area. You also tend to get less rom effects.
