Small speaker suggestions

Hello all, I'm looking for speaker suggestions. I have listened to Totem Arros Dynaudio excite 12 as well as some B and W. The dyns and B and W were being played through a switch box that may have contributed but neither impressed.

My budget is 500 - 700 for a small bookshelf or floor standing speaker.

I listen to a lot of rock as well as jazz. I want something that shows the details in the jazz recordings but doesn't reveal the flaws in the rock recordings.

Agree w/Schubert. A number of years ago I heard stacked pairs at Silverline's store playing some jazz. Just amazing listening quasi nearfield. I almost bought them even though I didn't need them (bought the Bolero's).

Pioneer SP-BS41-LR 130 Watt RMS 2-Way Speakers (Pair). Read the reviews. Amazing. $190. Designed by TAD designer Andrew Jones. There's also a Sub -- Pioneer SW-8 100 Watt RMS Subwoofer System.

Thats probably not going to happen. You'll save a lot of time and money if you just buy 2 pairs of speakers. I was going to recommend a small floorstander; the Vandersteen model 1. I'm sure that you can find a really good used pair in your price range. You will definately happy with them on good recordings, but they are very detailed and will reveal flaws.
