Best speakers for a small room? 10'X14'


Greetings all! I need some advice. I just moved my system into a "dedicated" listening room. Only problem is that it's definitely on the small side 10'X14'). I'm thinking about selling my Hales Concept 2's and finding something that's more appropriate for this small room.

It's unlikely that I'll be able to spend much (if any) more than what I'll get for the Hales (~$1,000?). So what's a good speaker (doesn't matter if it's a floorstander, monitor, planar) for this sized room? I'm afraid of buying anything that's ported (especially rear). What are your thoughts??

BTW - I have plenty of power (Classe DR-9), so I can drive just about anything.

Thanks for your help!

The Celestion SL line, 100, 600, 700 are excellent monitors that work well in a small room. They should be reasonable in the used market. Also a pair of Audio Physic Step speakers are a great choice if they can be had in your price range. Good Luck!
