Speaker Help

I'm looking for speakers with a nice soft delivery. Meaning full range but not harsh. Some might say a lush midrange. I have a 13' x 16' room and can't use an extremely large speaker. On the other hand I want more than a monitor. I use an aesthetix calypso pre and a modified McCormack DNA-1 amp. Would be buying used. Speakers I have tried; Aerial 8, Vandersteen 2 old version, Gershman rx20 and Salk HT3.thanks for the help.

This Spendor A5r should fit the bill! Outstanding Speaker!

Yogiboy is on the right track, but go with the new Spendor A4 -- killer speaker for the price - excellent British midrange but with some real bass punch and depth. They're one of the most well-rounded speakers I've heard in recent years.

You should also consider speakers from Fritz. Something with a ScanSpeak 18W in a 2-way. :) Lush/warm as hell.

not interested in Gershmans. If I had to talk to that lady up there ever again it'd be too soon. I'd really like to have a three way. Does anybody have any input on Proac speakers?
