Best speakers for small listening room

either speaker will do well, but you will almost surely need to do some acoustic treatment to make em' sound their best, since you have the dreaded "square room." tougher, IMO, than the tricky "L". -kelly

Every room in my house is square. Standing waves are driving me crazy. I dont know the speakers mentioned but best to stay away from the ones that have an upper or mid-bass hump to compensate for their size.

paulwp: ouch! 'course if you take out a wall and combine two of your rooms, you'll have very workable space. but then there are many of us who can only dream of this alternative. -kelly

I think cornfedboy had a great point. The most important (and expensive) part of your system is the room you're in. Clap your hands and you may hear a loud harsh flutter echo. This is something you'll need to address with any speaker. If you don't have carpeting, get it. Experiment with different room placement. A standing wave only affects distinct locations in the room (thus the name). These can also be reduced in amplitude with sound absorbing material. Sofas can soak up bass, not necessarily a bad thing in a small room. Bookshelves can help break up flutter echoes. There are a number of companies that sell room treatments.
