Looking for speakers

I am looking for a set of speakers. I want someting with good presence that also has a good bottom end. I will be using them mainly for music but once in a while for HT. I am considering Zu Soul Superfly, Accoustic Zen Adagio, or maybe something from Harbeth. I am open to any suggestions. My room is 15 x 25. I listen to mostly accoustic, female vocals, and jazz. Where I live there are not any high end audio stores so I can not audition anything. Any input would be helpful.

I bought for $3k 6-month old dealer demo Hyperion HPS-938, amazing speaker. Same room size with tall (cathedral) ceiling. Read reviews at hyperionsound.com

I also own Adagios in a 14 x 25 room, and they sound absolutely terrific, especially with jazz and classical.

Under radar for now, Daber Audio speakers, the Monitors 3's at least will need stands of some type. I switch these out with VSA 4Jr's, they are that good.

Will you be using a sub even if you do not employ surround sound?

Get yourself the Alon Vs or IVs selling so cheap here on the Gon. They do jazz like nothing can plus have the bottom end extension. Very open sounding, image fantastic, slam, dynamics, inner detail and work good with SS and tube amps. Plus you can resell them for what you paid for them any time.

Happy Listening.

If you want low end heft in a 15x25 room, avoid speakers with 6.5 woofers for bass unless you plan on adding some subs. Think along the lines of VMPS RM2 or Vandy 3a sigs.
