Looking for speaker ideas.


Looking for speaker ideas and room size is 11 w x 16 l x 9 ft ceilings.....room has acoustical panels. Music ranges from Big Band , Blues, Rock.

Equipment so far is :

Wyred 4 Sound st-500
deHavilland Mercury Preamp
Sim audio phono pre
VPI Industries HW-19 mkIII GLOSS BLACK W/MOERCH UP-4 / Ortofon Black

Have looked at different Spendor , Proac, Totem speakers but not sure if those would work for the rock music and would a sub be needed with those if they would be able to play rock music ?

Budget is $2000-2500

I have the Proac 140 MKII in approx same listening room as yours plenty of bass and huge soundstage, You may consider the  new Proac 148.
All 3 are decent choices, all 3 better w/subwoofer for rock, especially the smaller stand mount models. I'd add Vandersteen and GoldenEar  to the list. Cheers,
Spencer

I'll throw in two around that budget; Monitor Audio Silver 8 ($2,000) and Bowers and Wilkins 683 S2 ($1,650). 

Cheers,
