Need speaker for a small space and close to wall
Maybe the new Polk Lsm series. Their design allows for close wall placement. Not in your price range but don't hold that against them. 
Vintage Polk 10 b....2nd system, vinyl based...
I had a pair of the 7bs back in the early 80s as I couldn't afford 10bs or the Advents I really wanted. I loved them for what they were. Ex-wife got them. Oh well. 
Dynaudio vs PMC???
I have owned the Dynaudio Focus 110s as well as the PMC DB1+. The 110s were a fantastic speaker for the size while the DB1+s were one of my least favorite.You already have an idea of what the Dyns sound like so I won't describe them. I will descri... 
Forgotten early New Wave...
Speaking of Linda Rondstadt, "Mad Love," her new wave album was a killer album. I played the heck out of that one in the early 80s. Don't have a copy of it anymore, wonder if it sounds dated. Might have to check Amazon. 
Forgiving, musical speaker....
It seems like a contradiction,but it's more of a paradox. Such speakers are out there--speakers that present afull, detailed experience without driving people out of the room with hyper detailand tipped-up treble.Johnnyb53That's exactly what I exp...

Forgiving, musical speaker....
This question is right up my alley as I have been listening to the Kestrels as my go to speakers for about ten years now. Actually decided on them when I owned a pair of Vandy 1Cs and had to sell one or the other. In my experience, the Kestrels ar...

The Vandersteens mentioned earlier are a great buy if you are looking for floorstand speakers. I bought a used pair in great shape for $375 a couple years ago.For bookshelf speakers look at Polk Audio Lsi7. You can get a refurbed pair on ebay for ...

New Music Recommendations 2012
Ben Howard __ Every KingdomNglazerGreat recommendation, I've listened to it a couple times now. Get this album! 
Will this
If the Sony has standard speaker outputs it won't hurt the amp. I can't see any need to keep it at a "whisper." Just run the volume at the normal level/setting you normally do. I'd be curious as to your impression of the sound. 
What is the best loudspeaker for a small room?
As a last resort you could get the Polk Lsi15. I promise not to tell.Rok2idI had a pair of those. Replaced them with a pair of Proac Response 1.5s. Can't honestly say the Proacs were better.
