Speaker vs. Room Size


Need advice on type and size of speaker for room size.
Room: 10'X 14' X 7.5'H. I mostly listen to "unplugged" style of music and some rock. I don't have a lot of money to spend but I don't want that standing in the way of excellent sound...! I hope to purchase the speakers and build the rest of the system around them. I live in an area where it is hard to audition so I need to narrow my search. Much thanks for any and all help.

Sean had great ideas. The Spicas are very good and you can easily and cheaply modify the crossover with polys/mylars and improve the imaging and detail tremendously. You can also stuff them with strip caulking to reduce cabinet resonance for about $12.

The BBC near field monitors are tremendous for this application. I just listened to the ATC speaker for $1100/pr. new and it was very fine. Purchase very good stands such as the Sound Organization and fill them with shot/sand to tighten up everything. Use the sticky blue stuff from Office Depot to tack them down and you are off.
Good luck.
