Full Range Speaker That Can Play Near Boundaries

Application calls for a full range speaker in the 10K range that will work well in a 13 X 17 room but little ability to move the speakers out into the space due to furniture and WAF issues. (Speakers will be maximum 18" from front wall either positioned on long or short wall). Looking for a real music lover's speaker, not a hifi demonstration. Very real midrange--lively and tonally correct with taught bass (not bloated or slow), dynamic yet non-fatiguing sound. Soundstaging and imaging are secondary to accurate tonality and lack of coloration. Suggestions?

Hyperion HPS-938 - very natural and warm with incredible midrange. No fatigue and no coloration. Seamless transition from bass unit to midrange and from midrange to tweeter. Very dynamic fast bass with great control. Imaging is also great - laid back and very accurate. Read reviews.

If you think it's too good to be true you're right - they are ugly (unless you like black piano finish) resembling coffin. I got used to looks now but at the beginning it looked bad. Small advantage of piano finish is that piano repair shops can fix scratches.

If you can for corners, I'd say Audio Note speakers. Of course, they'd work best with at least an amp change in your system, too. $8k AN-E SE review, $6k AN-E review, $6.5k AN-E SPe

Full range in a room that small might be quite a challange.
