I have a pair that I use when I listen through a pair of 70-watt mono tubes. I like 'em a lot. Mine are set up just off the floor (4 or 5 inches), toed in slightly and tilted up a few degrees. Depending on my mood, I'm not as concerned with accura... 
speaker recommendations for a 12 x 12 room?

Totem might be a good option for your room. I have a pair of Model 1s in my 11-wide room and, with some room treatment, have wonderful sound and deep, deep imaging. I have mine mated with a Totem sub and a Creek amp.I've dedided that a monitor-typ... 
Best speakers ever 4 small room?

Got it.The toe-in method sounded great with the Totems in my old room. I believe I can make this puppy work. Thanks!

Well, there you go. I'm liking that idea. In your opinion, would something like the VR4-jr's work with that arrangement? And I'm headed to the Rives site today. Thanks for your time and tip. 
A Very Narrow Listening Room
Brilliant. Thanks to everyone for your help.I've actually plotted my speaker placement with help from the Cardis site. It's looking like 2.5 ft. from the side walls and 4.25 from the back (approx.). My listening chair for critical listening will b...
