Monitor speakers - choices to narrowed down to...


To facilitate family life I am being presses into moving my 2 channel gear into a small dedicated room that will end up being a less than ideal 12X12X8 which no doubt I will have to treat. My Maggie 1.5's may end up being sounding constrained in such a small space. The rest of the system is:
Modded 333ES sacd cdp
Rogue 66
Bryston 4B-ST
HT Pro 9 single wires

Based on budget I have come up with the following choices:
1. Silverline SR-15
2. Piega 2
3. Monitor Audio GR-10
4. ACI Sapphire
5. Proac Tablettes 2000
6. Totem model 1

Many of these cannot be listened to prior to purchase account factory direct or no local dealer. As low end bass has never been a big desire I don't feel the need for a sub.
I'm looking for musicality first above detail in hopes to minimize listener fatigue.

Any members here either have a similar system or can offer some "sound" advice as to creating a short list? Many thanks in advance for you input.

I have a room similar in size to yours. I'm using ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures with a tube pre and SS amp like you, though mine are the Blue Circle BC21 and BC22. Those little ProAcs sound very big and very satisfying in my 12 x 13 room. Your 4B-ST is probably way more than you'll ever need, but the musical nature of the big Bryston I feel will compliment most any speaker you end up choosing.

Although you say you can do without low bass, I've found I have to run my Tab 50s with a sub for best results. I think the monitors disappear better in my room when using a sub, and the extra low extension adds impact and realism. Maybe a slightly bigger monitor like the ProAc Response 2 would give you adequate bass without needing a sub. There have been some popping up used on Audiogon recently.

Godd luck.
Wonderful, simply marvelous. Oh yeh, they can rock when you want. The kind of sound you can listen to all day. One of the nicest, most detailed and layered images you'll find. Highly recommended!
Once again, I'm going to suggest the Coincident Triumph Signature UHS. I've owned monitors from B&W and Dynaudio, but these thrill me more than the others did. Maybe it was because my expectations were lower due to their reasonable price. I was, and still continue to be, pleasantly surprised. Another super value is the Osiris speaker stands. You want find a better stand for the price.
