Totem Arro or Vandersteen 1C or Quad 12L.

another vote for Totem - if you want more bass move up to the Sttafs - they will do really well in that room size, not cost much more than the Arro. I haven't heard the Quads, nor the 1C's but when I bought my Sttafs I a/b'd them with Vande 2es at length.

The Quad 12L has a "livelier" tonal balance than the Totem or Vandersteen; with anything other than classical, where the treble response reads as "air," I found them pretty quickly fatiguing--and my listening tastes run near to yours. That said, they do have great bass response and a GORGEOUS finish--I wanted to love them. I'd pick Totem, too, or the Vandersteens if you liked what you heard.

Thanks guys, I had dahlquist DQ-20s, long ago. I'm just trying to get something simular to them.
