Best versatile speakers?

Hello All...

I would like to hear your opinions regarding the best versatile 2 way monitor or 3 way small floor standers that will do justice to all types of music. My wife and I listen to all sonic types of music from Ute Lemperer / Mozart to 70's and 80's rock to 90's hardcore and some Hip Hop.

For this reason I have always stuck with the Paradigm Studios. They seem to handle everything well.

We are running a Space-Tech Tube Pre and a Nad 270 power amp
Sources are a Toshiba 3950 - DVD-A / Sony Sce-775 for SACD and using a Benchmark DAC-1 for redbook. We also have a MMF-5 Music Hall for vinyl. The room is small 13.5 long x 8.5 width and 9ft high.

Suggestions beyond the Paradigm Studios? The Signature line is too easy a leap. For the money we want to check out other options.

Some versatile ones are Aerial Acoustics (I own a set so I may be prejudiced) and Totem Acoustics.

I also like ProAcs and Audio Physic (though I had no opportunity to thoroughly audition them).

Never heard the better Paradigm line but I own a set of Atoms and if the "familial" territory is the same and you like the house sound, you may want to try further up the line.

Happy Listening!
