Small room Speaker suggestions

I see some great suggestions here for me to follow.
The Green Mountains and vandy's keep popping up here and in the forums and have struck my curiosity. Although I thought the 6db slope crossover was not a very good idea for nearfield position. In my small room speakers are 3' from front wall and chair is 2' from back wall leaving about 5-6' from speakers. I have no preference to stand or floorstanding speakers as far as space restraints go since I currently am using Maggie 1.6s.(worlds largest headphones in my room).
Esoxhntr-
do you plan on using those in a nearfield setup? I would be very interested in hearing your results if so.
Thank you all for your Ideas.

My room is larger than yours, but I don't have the space to pull the speakers way out into the room for imaging, so I built a pair of North Creek Eska towers. Right now I have the rears 6" away from the wall, and I've been playing around with positioning. These are designed to be close wall speakers and there is huge difference in sound compared to regular speakers. The midrange is perfect on male voices, and I've not heard a better dome tweeter at any price. This is an amazing sounding unit so far, and I'm not done tuning. Check out their Okara series also for the ability to go close to the walls.

In my small room the listening postion is between 7 and 8 feet depending on recline angle. This is the minimum distance Meadowlark recommended in the owner's manual. It sounds fine o me as did the Vandersteens. The 1Cs regularly sell for less the $500 used on Audiogon. At that price you could give them a try and sell at minimal loss if not happy.

I am extremely happy with my Totem Arros in a 9x11x8 listening room! I highly recommend them!
