I need some advice on speakers..

I'm selling my Martin Logan Odysseys to try a speaker with a smaller footprint. My room is fairly small 15X18, and I have a glass door on the right side of the room. On speaker will wind up more in the corner than the other due to a hallway.

The speakers I've been thinking about are:

The new Audio Physic Virgo III
The Von Schweikert VR-5
The Merlin VSM-M
The Coincident Super Eclipse
The VMPS monitor speaker the small on with the two 8's.

I'll put in a vote for the Virgos...I'm biased as I use the Avanti III. I like the way these guys make speakers and I like the way they sound when you get them together with the right gear and set-up properly....a very enjoyable musical experience from a relatively small speaker.

My friend uses a Electrocompaniet 120 on the Super Eclipse. I use and change out a EAR 534 tube amp (50wpc) and a McIntosh 6900 integrated (200wpc). Both do a great job of bringing the RX 20's to a full bloom. My CD source is a Krell 30i CD player. I also use a VPI Aries turntable in this setup.

I don't know your price point, but I have a similarly sized room and had a pair of Piega P-10's which fit comfortably and unobtrusively, and sonically are one of the best I've heard in their price range and higher.

I second the Piega suggestion. Awesome speakers. Not a lot of dealers, but worth the effort, imho. Great highs, and tight,deep bass. { If you like those kind of things!}
Kale.
Ps- Mark, any word on those Jena PC's? You've got me lusting!!

email me off line if you want to know more about the 2 setups i heard of the VSMs and the VR5s.

but this much i can say for certain: they are NOT bright. if they sound bright / dull / romantic, its what is upstream.
