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.

Recently picked up some KEF LS50's. Awfully good. Pretty amazing for the size of the box. Lots of technology in these guys.

I agree with joc3021 however for more dynamics and a bit more forgiving with rock, I would get the kef r300 same technology with added bass driver. Good luck

Can you fit in Magnepan MMG's? If its 8ft or less from them, you will love them! Great for jazz & rock if it isnt a bigger room. 1.6's are $800 and they are fantastic speakers. They will rock out with a decent amp....even a cheap Emotiva!

Ive been down the 400-800 road, and IMO you won't beat the 1.6's. I have owned a ton of the famous value speakers and the 1.6's win hands down.

Stretch your budget for the "revolutionary" KEF LS50's - and you won't ever look back!
