The Era D4 is a great place to start and really have a touch of magic in the mids that you just don't hear under 1K. Bass is great for a smaller room. Very good for low level listening as well. I use them after many comparisons using a Mac Mini and Puccini.
Bookshelf or Mini Monitor
Looking for suggestions on speakers for large desk top. Room size is 15'x16'x8'. I will be using with imac for music playback of itunes and garageband mixs. An Arcam FMJ 22(100w) will be used as amp with Blue Circle usb thingee. So, looking for good nearfield listening and something that is not overkill considering the music source. New or used is fine.
