Speaker advice?

Hello all-

I'm trying to put together a nice sounding system for a small listening room (about 10' by 10'). Space is constrained in every way, so I need to select small speakers and small components. I have a few options in mind. I am wondering if readers have any thoughts as to whether one is better than another, or if any of these a good idea. System A) is a Creek Evolution 50a amplifier, a Creek Evolution 50d cd player, and DynAudio Excite X12 speakers. System B) is a Creek Evolution 50a amplifier, a Creek Evolution 50d cd player, and KEF LS50 speakers. System C would be either speaker above paired with a Rega Brio R amp and a Rega Apollo R cd.

Any thoughts about which direction I should go? Thanks, Margot

Before you decide on Creek electronics, audition the Marantz PM8004 integrated amp. It's the lowest price amp in their Reference Series at $999. It is uncommonly neutral and resolving with a -125 dB noise floor in the amp section. It also has clarity, definition, and bass control without any edginess.

I heard them driving a pair of $10K Sonus Faber Cremona Ms with great results in all areas. They will be up to your task.
