speaker recommendation 2500 or less small room

First I would like to thank everyone for there response. Secondly, I would like to know what to expect from an upgrade to the pre amp. And sense I am using a Mc solid state, would I be better off choosing a tube or solid state. Will a smaller speaker sound better at lower volume than a very large speaker.

Please explain "This is a big part of the problem; often voltages are mismatched between pre-amp and amplifier and no synergy."

Also the amp is new so it will not be replaced for a long time to come.

Hi, sorry for not explaining more and on my part. Sometimes when the input sensitivity between amp and pre-amp is not equal the products won't act in sync.

I have a friend who purchased and tried several pre-amps with his modified ss amps. I was wondering why when he tried Edge, Linear, my previous Bel Canto Pre3 pre-amp he was not getting the results he wanted. I felt for him and told him what I was thinking and he later found something; however he almost gave up in anger and frustration not to mention a shit load of money and time.

Often matching manufacturers pre & power eliminates these issues and then there are other times you will find a manufactures equipment will blend equally, as well, with others, as with it's own. Check the voltage between the two if your not getting the desired result.

One more example: Reviewer recommends product "A" that works with his equipment and he is in awe of the experience.
Person can't listen to that item anywhere around him so he purchases it. He get item "A" shipped to him plugs it in with his gear; not impressed. Gives item "A" some break in ; still no fire works! Panick and buyers remorse settles in and makes a couple calls and listens, yet same results. This is a lot more common than you think and is system matching; avoid the marry-go-round.

This was mentioned in the best interest of not falling into this senario. Some extra ammunition in case some thing comes up.

Cheers,

Keith

Energy Veritas 1.8 used - great value.

Energy Veritas kicks butt! Linear, fast, wide dispersion, musically involving, devoid of boxy resonances. I agree. One of the Veritas floorstanders got pretty high up on S'phile's Recommended list, but they all should have been there.
