The Merlin's are very nice speakers! If you want another option that tends to fly under the radar, take a look at a used pair of Talon Hawks. They are a smallish two way and can get pushed back toward the wall for bass reinforcement if needed or to keep them out of the room.
They are a very good sounding speaker and easy to drive. They do require stands though...
