Starter SACD setup, ideal speakers ?

Im putting together a starter SACD system with the Musical Fidelity A3 cr amp /pre-amp and the new entry level Sony QS SACD player. Whats would be be my best choice as loudspeakers for a small room (4 x 6 meters) ? Im dreaming of either a B&W nautilusn 805 or 804. Need recommendations for something that can maxime the full potential of SACD with emptying my bank account ? Budget is around < US 4,000.

It would be more correct to choose speakers first.

STAY AWAY FROM THE B&W'S IN THIS PARTICULAR SETUP....YOUR OVERALL BALANCE WILL END UP TOO POLITE AND RESERVED. SOMETHING MORE DYNAMIC, MORE UPFRONT WOULD BE MORE IDEAL....LIKE CABBASSE, DUNLAVY, TOTEM, JM LABS, AUDIO PHYSIC, ACOUSTIC ENERGY...ETC. I THINK B&W IS A PARTICULARLY BAD CHOICE IN A LITTLE ROOM, DUE TO THE TWEETERS VERY WIDE DISPERSION= LOTS OF REFLECTIONS OFF SIDE WALLS.

I replaced my Genesis Vs ($15K) with a pair of Reference 3A MM De Capos (could be here today). Not sure I will need a sub yet. I heard the De Capos at two hi-fi shows (worst place to evaluate) and they sounded great. $2500, plus stands. You can link to their website from mine-www.audiotweakers.com
