Near Field listening

Looking for suggestions and thoughts for the purchase of a pair of monitors for a small room. Associated equiptment will be a Music Reference RM10 mkll and a RM4 phono stage and a tt. I have owned the Linn Tukans and liked them fine and that is all the experience I have with monitors. I listen to a lot of Jazz and singer songwriter type music.
Thanks

Cwlondon,
No, why do you ask?

Another consideration is Tekton Design speakers. They're very affordable and sound beautiful.

I use Von Schweikert VR-1s in a small library and even have them on the bookcase (I know, I know). The soundstage is tall and wide and the instruments seem precisely placed on the stage. Wonderful midrange and bass to 50 Hz. I also use a small REL sub to go below that. Its a great combination. And, affordable.

I've used KEF Uni-Q's as studio nearfield monitors for many years. The old UK made Q10 is just a great and inexpensive (especially used) little speaker that is perfect for nearfield...front port and all...the ref series small uni-Q is cool too...a friend (for his studio) found a mint pair someplace for under $200. The concentric thing is great for nearfield.

Hi, not exactly monitors but I can recommend Audio Physic
Virgo II or the Caldera. Both are made for the near field
listening. If you live in Europe check ebay.de ; the prices
are ubelievable (+/-1400E VirgoII; +/-4000E Caldera).
