Speaker match Conrad Johnson

I have a CJ 2300 amp and CJ PV10 pre amp. Looking for a speaker match and ideas to audition. As my login name suggests I like to crank it up. I am not interested in just loud for the sake of being loud, but clear and dynamic. Yes I dare say it I love rock music but also have a wide collection and tastes that are played at lower levels. Room (smallish) is not the best set up and speakers and would not have allot of breathing room...6ft apart and one would most likely be in a corner. Could be Floor standnig or bookshelf, new or used. It's wide-open folks. Budget 15 – 1800.00.

I suggest Totem Mani 2's because:
1. You will need speakers which blend properly in the nearfield, which multiway horns certainly do not.
2. A small room needs small speakers
3. Given enough power, they will play loudly and full range.
4. Power is no problem with the CJ's 240 watts per side.
5. A used pair can be had the top of your price range
6. They will not murder the human voice, as will many "rock" speakers
7. Later on they will "fill" a large room
