Front ported speakers recommendation

I am planning to get a pair of front ported speakers for my bedroom. I found most rear ported speakers need to be away from the rear walls, which won't fit my bedroom well.

My budget is $2K-$3K. What would you recommend?

I have a pair of Acoustic Zen Adagio for my main listening area. I like them a lot, but want to get something else for my bedroom. Thank you.

You've got to consider Merlin TSM. Search the archives, tons written about them here and on audioreview.com
Cheers,

The Merlin's are very nice speakers! If you want another option that tends to fly under the radar, take a look at a used pair of Talon Hawks. They are a smallish two way and can get pushed back toward the wall for bass reinforcement if needed or to keep them out of the room.

They are a very good sounding speaker and easy to drive. They do require stands though...

I owned the TSM's before the Devore 8's and I'll stand by my recommendation of the Devores, especially in a small to medium space.

JM Lab/Focal speakers should be on your audition list. Good luck!
