Monitors or floor speakers for small room?


I have a rather small room, 22 x 12, lots of glass and a marble floor (partially covered with area rug). I want the best sound that i can get, definition, clarity Etc. I have paradigm signatures (1.0). I would like to buy the dynaudio C-2 signatures but after seeing them think that they are WAY to big for my space (my listening area would be 6-8 ft from them). Question is would a really good pair of monitors give me what i'm looking for. I don't play rock music but want a decent bass-maybe a sub?

your s1s are really excellent, big sounding little speakers which have all the characteristics you cite (definition, clarity, etc.); they're also very flexible about placement. i'd keep 'em and add a sub--paradigm makes good ones in the same signature series which ought to integrate well with the monitors.
22 X 12 is small? You might be thinking I have setup my system in a closet (13.5 X 12.5).

Yes, & check out Totem Mani-2's while you're at it. I definitely don't need a sub with mine. They're in a 16x12' room.

I don't know the paradigm's you have, but Loomisjohnson seems to make a good case. Lots of possibilities....
Can't get past the "small" room part. My heart bleeds for you. The biggest room in my house is 15x12. Guess you're voting Romney. That Ivy league ed didn't do me right.
