Bookshelf speakers for a bedroom.

Hi,

Soon I want to get a pair of Bookshelf speakers for my bedroom hifi. Something that is suitable to be placed close to the back walls and for near field listening. As I sit approx 6-7 feet away from my hifi.

I've been looking at speakers like the Harbeth P3ESR & the new LS3/5a .

And most importantly I want to get a speaker that will match very well with my amp and the rest of the system. I don't want to end up with a miss-match (PLEASE NOOOO)

My amp is a Quad 405-2 (Which has the Net Audio MK3 upgrade)

The rest of my system,

Tag Mclaren PA10 preamp.

Townshend Rock II turntable with rewired Rega R200 S shaped tonearm.

Rotel RCD-1070 CD player.

All suggestions welcome.

Many thanks,

Shane.

Used Triangle Titus XS speakers for less than $400/pr used and call it a day.

The Triangles are fairly efficient and easy to drive, and very small and compact. Not much below 50hz or so but what is there above is top notch. They can go pretty loud with a good amp, but their most distinguishing quality is their clarity and detail at lower volumes which is as good as I have heard anywhere. They are more towards the analytic and revealing end of the scale than the "warm" one. the right ICs might tame the top end a bit if that were an issue with certain brighter sounding amps. I would use DNM Reson ICs so as to not have to worry about that if needed.
