Speakers recommendations to use with a Cary 805

I am looking for speaker recommendation to use with my Cary 805 amplifiers. My room is approximately 14 x 17 x 8 and the speakers will be placed on the short wall. This is a dedicated room; therefore, speaker placement is not a problem. The room has been professionally acoustically treated.

Depends on your music and your preference, really. I used to have 805's, so here are my suggestions:

- Avantgarde Uno or Duo. Very good pairing with the 805, most lifelike dynamics I have ever heard. Downsides: incoherent sound unless you have a very big room. Subwoofer integration is a problem, but not insoluble.

- WLM. High efficiency single driver nirvana, but IMO better suited to smaller rooms.

- Tannoy Prestige series. Big fat romantic sound, excellent dynamics. Downside is the fuddy duddy styling. Again IMO :)

Von Schweikert VR4JR MkII's would be nice. They are kind of "tight", which would compliment the uber-tubiness of the 805's. The SR's would be great; but not in that room, I don't think. Both go to 20Hz with tight bass for two channel.
