Book Shelf Speaker advice - Formerly Book Shelf Dilemma


Hello all. I posted this earlier under the title Book Shelf Dilemma. Thank you to the many who replied with excellent advice and suggestions. Some responders asked about the room dimensions and as I investigated the suggested speakers I concluded that the room dimensions and furniture set up may be important to consider. So, I am reposting with a schematic of the room which shows the Bay Windows and furniture as well as a note that the insulation between my apartment and the unit below is marginal. I make this point with the understanding that a Sub Woofer may be good to include.

Note: I want to position the speakers along the Bay Window facing back into the apartment and dining/kitchen area. Most of my listening is done from this area.

Budget - $1000.00 (with stands would be a bonus)

Amplifier - McCormack DNA 0.5
Pre - McCormack ALD-1
Source - Cambridge 851N - Spotify Premium
Music preferences - fairly eclectic
Jazz (Bony James, Lee Ritenour, Paul Harris, Bob James)
Female Vocals (Eva Cassidy, Duffy, Sarah Jarosz, Nadine Anderson)
1980’s Rock (Emerson Lake & Palmer, Yes, Dave Mason)

Thank you all for your suggestions and advice1

The new LSA Signature 50 may be right up your alley.  There’s a link for member Terry’s glowing review in Stereo Times in the ad page below, and they can be had with stands for $800.  Alternatively you could just buy the speakers for $600 and the Monoprice stands (link below) for about $90 and save around $110.  Best of luck.

Your living room...is a living room. You are not setup for a listening room as far as I can tell. 

Yes, that is my biggest challenge. I understand I need to lower my expectations of listening enjoyment due to the room. Still seeking any thoughts that may result in the best outcome possible with budget and room dynamics. 
 

Thank you.
