best speaker in a small room in the $2000.00 range

I know this is a mater of taste but I wanted to hear some suggestions. My room is small...11x14 with wall to wall carpet. I don't listen to rap or heavy metal. I lean towards vinyl over cd's....I have a Mcintosh 2205 amp and a Mcintosh mx117 with a VPI Scout/Benz Micro glider as a frount end.....any thoughts? I have Paradigm studio 80's rev 1 right now and want to inprove on that.
thanks, Dean

These are all good ideas...I forgot to clarify...I would probably buy USED...so the dollar amount for a new set could be higher...maybe the 2500.00 to 4000.00 range???
Does this change any suggestions??

Try the Tyler Ref monitors. Front ported so you can place near the wall. They are revealing of any equipment placed upstream but can sound "reference quality" in a small room.
May find used on Agon for $1000 or less.

I enjoyed ProAc Response 1SCs in my 12'x14' room for many years. Now I am using the floorstanding ProAc Response 2.5s. Both good!

Currently, there is Audiogon ad asking $1300 for Platinum Audio Reference 1, including matching stands. Able to be driven by your amp, and is a very special bargain at this price.
The list prices up at $4400 before the company folded its tent, and the designer moved to live and work in China, some years back.
