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.

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.

We have a terrific pair of Gershman sonograms for $2k smooth, musical great bass.

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?

Keep away from rear ported speakers in that size room. That’s why I suggested the Spendor A5r ( 2 1/2 way ) with sealed woofers! I've owned that speaker and found it to be an excellent performer!
