Jumper Question
Not all jumped speakers sound better with the speaker wires on the highs. Mine sound better (fuller) on the lows. It's Sunday, so fool around. I'm told some people even do one lead on each (treating each speaker the same), tho I've never tried it.... 
Best small speakers?
As noted above, Gallo 3.5s excellent and small. Can be had new at your pricepoint, I reckon. For much less, the Selah Veritas is a fine speaker in a small package at 2k.No experience on mating these with your amps.John

Cut Schipo and Rok2id a little slack, people; grief is often expressed as anger!

As I opened this thread, Pete Seeger doing "Sweet Low Sweet Chariot" cued up on my iTunes managed system. :)RIP

What is would be a small listening room size?
Get real!!!Huh?IMO, OP has a legitimate question, Slaw. For example, discussions of speakers/amplification and often reference room size, so good to know what people have in mind.John 
What is would be a small listening room size?
Here's a concrete example:My old speakers, North Creek Eska's, were a slender MTM mini tower designed for near wall placement small to medium rooms. They were housed in 13x13x9h room, open on two sides, and worked very well.I've moved, and the roo...

What is would be a small listening room size?
8000 = 40x20x10h, no? That seems to me a very large room, with a footprint comparable to many houses, in many parts of the country.I might call your room medium; I think many speakers designed for smaller spaces would start to swim, and you could ... 
MSB M202 compared to Pass XA.5
That's funny, Rtn1. "You have to go see that movie, it's neutral.""It's the best restaurant in town, completely neutral.""I think I'm in love, she's so neutral." FWIW, I'd characterize my Pass INT-30A as warmish, compared to the A/AB it replaced. ...

Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Zmanastronomy:Posts calling people idiots (and ideots) -- or worse -- are common on these boards, so if the problem is that my post was insulting, that standard must be *very* selectively enforced. FWIW, I don't think the post was insulting; it ce...

One of my posts to this thread was deleted after being posted! Didn't know that happened! The intrigue thickens . . . . :) 
Why 24/7 warm-up period on amps?
I think the OPs question is whether there is reason to think 24/7 provides an audible improvement over a short (say 1-2 hr.) warmup. I suspect many of us, OP included, would say they hear large differences with a short warm up. But I think it be h...
