Small Speakers to Use With McIntosh Electronics ?

Well it's "upgrade" time again! Sound familiar? This time
I'm getting ready to replace a bedroon system that has Adcom
electronics with some small Audiosource speakers I've had
for well over 10 years.
Room size is approx. 13 feet x 16 feet, with an 8 foot
ceiling. Being a diehard McIntosh fan; I'll be going with
a lower powered SS Mac amp and Preamp. Or possibly an
integrated unit. Will probably be going with a lower powered
set-up - given room size - and the fact that I mostly
listen to classical music, and a bit of jazz & pop. My
biggest issue is placement - since the speakers will have to
be placed faily close to a the wall or possibly wall mounted. This will probably eliminate the choice on any speakers that have rear porting.
I'm considering some of the small Paradigms and NHTs;
but suspect there may be better choices. All suggestions
will be appreciated.
