What speakers for a 10 x10 room?


Please Help!?!? I am trying to decide what speakers to put in my tiny - but dedicated - room. I am currently running Aerial model 5 speakers with a Vandersteen subwoofer. They do a nice job, but I feel my amplification and front end (Blue Circle BC3000/BC26, Audiomeca Mephisto) could use something a little higher up the food chain. Also, it sounds to me like there is a dip in frequency response in the low-mid area (200-300 hz).
Any ideas???

i'll offer what little help i can, and anyone who wishes to correct me may feel free to do so.
i'm going to assume the height of your ceiling is about the same as the width and length of the room. i seem to remember that cubes are BAD rooms for listening. if i have this right, the dimensions will reinforce (first???) reflections and create 'nodes' in your room where soundwaves will congregate. i believe bass response will be an early victim of your rooms dimensions.
i would look at your room before switching out speakers since if this is the problem, your new speakers will not correct for it.
since this is YOUR dedicated room, can you shorten the wall your speakers are NOT in front of? i think a shortening of about 1-2 feet could create a much better acoustic environment for you. there was a website i once came across that gave a top ten list of proportions for the dimensions of a room for listening, go to http://www.geocities.com/m_churches/room.htm.
check this out first and experiment
btw, nice choice of front end and amplification
hope this helps
correct me if i'm wrong
