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

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.

If you are considering the Merlins, as I would recommend you do, the TSM-MX are the way to go.
Someone moving up to VSM-MX floorstanders just listed a pair in a beautiful champagne finish. Cheers,

You could stretch your budget a little and get Totem Hawks. They are a little more refined than the Sttaf. I have a similar room. I upgraded from Paradigm 60V2s.
