Speaker that has a resonant cabinet like guitar
I own the Onkyo Takamine speakers. They are marvelous for their size. Using just a 4" woofer they will not provide very much bass; however, the midrange and treble are excellent. You'd be surprised how they can fill a medium-sized room with music.... 
Any experience with SP Technology Timepiece spkrs?
FlrnlambWhen thinking of monitors I think firstly of ATC then the others including Genelec, Dynaudio professional, Mackie, etc. These speaker are designed, especially the ATC's, to deliver the sound as it was recorded for near-field monitoring. So... 
Any experience with SP Technology Timepiece spkrs?
I've heard them a few times. These speakers are first and foremost monitors; meaning they provide an unvarnished portrait of the recording. If you enjoy that type of sound, the SP's may be your cup of tea. Jim

Blue Ridge Sound Engineering Speakers ???
I'd suggest 6moons and/or positivefeedback. Both are softcopy review mags. Jim 
Best speakers for near rear wall placement?

Best Powered Monitors
IMHO the best powered monitors are ATC. Just remember studio monitors are designed to give the listener a clear window into the recording. There should be very little or no coloration. Many find studio monitors a little flat and unemotional soundi...

Monitors Suggestions for my setup
My suggestion is also the Green Mountain Europa. It's a very musical speaker and not fussy about amps and cables. The Rothschilde's sound best with tubes and esp. SETs. Jim
