Best Speakers for small room under $3.5k

Before you upgrade components are you using interconnects and speaker cable that are up the the level of your existing components ??? If not, then upgrade your cables first, you will be surprised with the results. Also consider a good AC power conditioner if you do not already have one.

I agree. Keep the speakers, they are awesome. Add a REL subwoofer, get silver cables, get a better power cable on your front end, pre, and amp. It sounds like you've got the bug bad (me too) it took me a long time to "find" my N 805s. :) I would definately MAKE SURE that you dont want those speakers any more, as they truly seem to speak with one voice. Here's my real advice. Get a Conrad Johnson preamp. PV 11 is a great one, PV 10 is not as transparent, you'd love it initially, it has the most believable presence I've ever heard, it's just a shade colored when compared to more resolute CJ stuff (so you KNOW it's colored compared to SS.) I love my PV 11, and am anxious to hear the PV 14(descrete resistor, remote controlled, stereo volume control, based on a tiny 6c4 triode tube . IF you've got money to burn, and you'reb looking for something "different", give tubes a try (tubed preamp is the easiest way) you'll never go back. There's just something more real about the sound of GOOD tube equipment in an already great system.

The JM Reynaud Trente's are getting some excellent comments right now, especially in the gleaming Listener review. They describe these monitor's as highly seductive and magical, musical, smooth and highly involving. www.jm-reynaud.com

I am also anxious to hear the Reynaud speakers. The best small speakers I have heard to date are the Spendor 1/2 and Proac 2s. An excellent small floor standing speaker I like is the Vienna Acoustics Mozart.

Hey Stop And Listen!!!! Sugarbrie and I will try to set you straight. Been In the Bizz. for 22 years. I am a master electrican to master tech. of system intergration of all theater and low voltage systems. I'm a full blown high end stereo freek. It all starts with the power in the house. Shit power, Shit sounding system. If you have a chance check out a Furman Reference power conditioner. It's a sweet, beautiful sounding componet. Best of all it has balance power,and if you no anything about power for audio. This is what you want first of all. Once you have this problem solved,it will blow your mind itself. Then proceed with equal wires to your system. Audioquest,XLO and Cardas all have great lines of wires with all having different sounds to them.To me finding what type of wire you love the sound of most is the hard thing to do. Like everybody else states, you do have nice gear and speakers. Once you find the power conditioner and cables of your sound preference,I would then proceed with a speaker upgrade if you think you need them still. Devoted Audiogon member, I hate to see bad buys happen to good people. It is a Tweekie Bizz. take your time. "It's a beautiful audio disease we have".
