Speakers for daughter


I was going to buy powered small speakers for my daughter's first sound system to go with A Project Debut Carbon Evolution but now she seems ok to accept an integrated amplifier from me to power speakers. Thinking about the Elac UNI-FI UB 51 or ELAC Uni-FI Slim B5 U5 after researching similar priced speakers such as the Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2, Paradigm Monitor SE Atom, Wharfedale Diamond 12.1, and Kef 150. I have not listened to any speakers yet at the price point. Any comments?

Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-160M are also on sale and within your budget.   

Thank you all for your input. Looks like small is better for my daughter and I am sure she is going to prioritize looks rather than optimal placement for imaging. So now looking at Elac Uni fi Slim, Dynaudio Emit 10, Wharfedale Diamond 12.1, B&W 607 s2 and Kef Q150. Can get the Kef on sale near her at $350 plus grills, Dynaudio at $500 used, B&W at $525 used and Wharfedale at $350 open box. Not sure I like the vinyl covering on the Kefs but I use Sonus Faber so maybe I like nice wood. Some concern that the integrated amp I am giving her may have problems driving the Elac, Dynaudio and B&W at 50 wats/channel into 8 ohms or 80 watts into 4 ohms. Room size is 18 X 12. She was going to go out this weekend to listen to some speakers but was unable due to the blizzard. 

Which of the speakers under consideration can she audition? Given the 50wpc amplifier I would consider those that are easiest to drive impedance wise.  

Audiotroy sells (at least ) 3 of the speaker brands you have narrowed down to - maybe you should visit his store.  

I know there powered, but the Audioengine A5+ speakers are great, and work fantastiv with Amazon Music HD streaming as well.
