best speaker in a small room in the $2000.00 range

I know this is a mater of taste but I wanted to hear some suggestions. My room is small...11x14 with wall to wall carpet. I don't listen to rap or heavy metal. I lean towards vinyl over cd's....I have a Mcintosh 2205 amp and a Mcintosh mx117 with a VPI Scout/Benz Micro glider as a frount end.....any thoughts? I have Paradigm studio 80's rev 1 right now and want to inprove on that.
thanks, Dean

You don't want to BLAST them to sound ALIVE!
How about a pair of speakers that can sound
alive and lively at a volume level of only 70db's.

Energy Veritas 2.3i's. A little over $2000 new, but can be had at this price or less used.

Zerius, Antal etc. These are very efficient and sound extremely good. The Antal's are flat to 45hz - but don't let that throw you. I have the Celius (next model up) which are flat rated to 43hz. However - in room I am flat to 35hz and only 3db down at 30hz. Too many people ignore the room and buy a speaker that is flat below 40hz and wind up with a boomy mess. I learned that the hard way. The only time one should get a speaker flat below that is if the room isvery large or it is load with room treatments - traps etc
