Why do you Pick a Certain Speaker producer?
I picked Eggelston (Rosa) because they are located in my hometown, Memphis. It's nice to be able to watch the speaker being made. More importantly, the sound is incredible for a small speaker.

I use a Richard Gray RGPC 400 Pro and Transparent Audio Ultra cables. My wife is my double blind tester. She says it is a great combo. It gives solid Bass, nice highs and a blackground. 
which amp around 2500-3500 ish
used BAT vk55se - excellent value. NT 
usual speaker advice question
I'd try a smaller Eggleston. I have the Rosa's in a room 24' x 13' with 8' ceilings. They are perfect for the room. If you want something a little bigger, with more bass, go with the Nine or Andra III.

Thanks. I had B&W N803's before the Rosa's. They were hard to drive so I had used a sub to get the low end.
