Bookshelf speaker recommendations


I am in the need for some recommendation for bookshelf speakers in a small room(10x10). I currently have the Paradigm Mini Monitor v3 and for the price are good sounding speakers but they are way too midbass heavy like boxy sounding. A few options I was looking was the Dynaudio Audience 42 or 52 or even the Contour 1.1. I listening to everything but mostly rock and country. Every once in a while I like listening to vocals and acoustic instruments.

This will be powered by an Acurus A150 amplifier with a Rotel RC-995 preamp. My source is strictly lossless files and some streaming. 

My budget is around 1.2k.

Why not consider sealed box design like ATC to help deal with the room? Not having a port simplifies things greatly matching to a difficult room

I would suggest a corner set up if you haven’t tried it already. They are often suggested for a square room. Good luck!

You might look into a pair of Fritz speakers if you can find a used pair in that price range....
