floor-stander speaker for "classical"

Dear A-gon citizens...very small room, roughly 10 x 11, and looking for above. I have Rega TT, Rega CD player and a variety of amps, including SS, chip and tube. Thoughts are appreciated. My feeling is, due to room size, this will need to be a small model.

Rega RS-3 are ideal.

Rega speakers are designed to be used close to a wall and have plenty of the linear bass required for realistic reproduction of the symphonic foundation.

They are voiced on acoustic music and lack the hard-edge and mid-bass bump to match the way rock " music" is recorded. Guarantee you will sound better than Maggies in a room that size. Been there, tried that.

Flashy they are not, realistic they are.

I've had the OHM and the Preludes in a room that size, the Rega 3a is better than either FOR Classical .

All are very good speakers but the Preludes are a tad forward and have a bit too much "jump" for Classical while the Ohms are not quite clear enough. For Jazz I'd take the Preludes (in fact I do} and for pop, the Ohms.

For Bach and Brahms its 'da Rega.
