smaller room monitors

Does anyone have a recommendation or experience with a listening position 7 to 8 feet from speakers?  This is for 50/50 music/home theater.  Would 2.1 or 2.2 system work here.  Or just throw up two floorstanders?  Don't mind buying used speakers.  Have a SVS PB2000 sub I can use to supplement low end.  Thought maybe someone had already been down this road to save some time/$.  Like to be under $1500 for 2 speakers.  Warmer>brighter.

There are many monitor speakers that work well in a 2.1 music/video system. Sub is great addition with video, and can be with music, depending on room dimensions. In some circumstances you might find that you don't use the sub with music. Much to do with the room and room treatments. What is room dimensions?

Silverline Preludes are a great all-around choice for small floorstanders.  For monitors the Nola Boxers are on the slightly warmer side of neutral so may fit very well with what you're looking for sonically.  Best of luck.
