I USE ARCAM INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER(90WATS)AND I ENJOY ANY KIND OF MUSIC. THE CD PLAYER IS ARCAM 72T.
The room is 14' by 8'.

Thanks
Do you floorstanding or stand-mounted speakers - the Thiels are floorsatnders but you could really only get the smaller one used for that price.

What are you lookng for in a speaker - what characteristics do you like or don't like.

I really haven't listened to Thiels or Quads - but might I suggest Acoustic Energy AE309's - they list for $295 new and have that classic british sound.

Between your three choices, and your associated equipment JM labs might be first/best choice. Theils are nice, but a bit difficult to drive and the Quad especially difficult (as unsound pointed out). If dynamic range is a priority and/or maybe deeper bass then I would be even more inclined to take JM labs instead of Theil. This is assuming used prices too. For $1,100 to $1,300 new I think JM labs is the only choice (and a better balance for your gear).
