So now that I have my new amp situation all squared (TEAC AX-501), it's time to try out some new speakers.
1) Budget is around 1k (new or used), but this can be stretched a bit for the right candidate
2) Monitor or floorstander, doesn't matter... I'm open to either
3) Not needing a sub would be nice, so something that goes down to 40 Hz or better
4) Sensitivity and impedance is not a big deal now, since I think my amp is up to the task
5) Very small room (10x13)
Some of the speakers I own, or have owned:
B&W 685 (still have)
Ascend Sierra (still have)
Totem Staff (excellent)
Totem Model-1 (OK)
Totem Mite (nah)
Magnepan MMG (excellent)
Paradigm Atom v5 (great)
Paradigm Monitor 7 (pretty good)
Def Tech Studio 65 (meh)
Klipsch RF-62 (ouch, my bleeding ears)
Monitor Audio RS6 (good)
Energy CF-50 (pretty good for the price!)
B&W CM5 (excellent)
That's all I can remember right now, but there's lots more.
Thanks.
