Best speaker value between $1800-$2100


Need some input on best value in speakers between $1800 to $2100. I have been out of the market for 3 years due to illness. I currently have a pair of Silverline Prelude II speakers which are above average. I am driving them with a Creek 5250SE Classic which is about 85RMS. I prefer a speaker with a narrow profile(like the Preludes) because the room is 12X15 with mostly hardwood floors and wall of window area. I also have some overstuffed furniture; but, overall the room is lively. I don't have a lot of flexibility in the room for speaker placement; I currently have the Preludes placed on the long axis---they sound somewhat louder on the right speaker. I use a pair 10ft of Analysis Oval 12 which may need to be replaced. All opinions and advice will be welcomed.

My favorite sounding speaker in that price range is the ProAc 2.5, but it may be a difficult match for you because many people feel they need to be away from the walls more than some speakers. I however, used them about 12-18" from the walls and still loved them.
I am assuming you want to replace the Silverlines with small towers. I suggest you check out these front ported models:

-Aperion Audio 6T (Internet direct),

-B&W 683 (big),

-Focal 816V,

-Monitor Audio Silver RX8 (new product), and

-Rega RS5.

Three other speakers I really like in this price range are the Epos M16i, B&W CM7 and Quad 22L (a bit boxier but very sweet), but these are rear ported and may require placement a bit further into the room, or muting of the port with a plug.
Are the Silverlines not good speakers? Maybe the Creek should be replaced instead?

I do not know but it seems the Creek is a bit old and I have always read good things about Silverlines.

fwiw
