Canton or ads small bookshelf spkrs? Which is better?

This is for a 2nd bedroom system.

It's been a very long time since I've heard small ads speakers that I don't remember what they sound like.  However, I just got rid of a pair of Canton Plus S speakers and was thinking of replacing them with something a little larger, either another slightly larger Canton or ADS.  

Please, before you start responding with all kinds of other recommendations that I truly do appreciate, I'm hoping that people with first hand experience with Cantons & ads speakers can weigh in.  

Sure, I'd love a pr of ProAc Tablettes, LS3/5a's, or some other great speaker but price is a concern, I'd like to stay under $250 for a pair & about 12" tall or less. I've always liked the looks of the ads & Canton speakers.

I look forward to your recommendations, thank you for reading.
