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

I am a believer of finding a speaker you like and then looking for an amp that will properly drive it.

Since you have only listed two speakers, I am assuming you have auditioned both. What are your opinions? Did you prefer one over the other but looking for the forum to validate your thoughts?

If so, I never heard a Dyn I didn't like. But I prefer the sound of a soft dome tweeter with most music, and Dynaudio makes some of the best in the business.

That being said, without knowing your feelings based on your auditions, I say System A. Also, Almargs comments about which speaker will match up better with your choice of amp, is great advice. This goes back to my opening statement. Good luck.
