Help chossing a good speaker. $ 3-5 K

Hi guys: Need some help. Trying to buy a good pair of speakers. I listen mostly to Classic, Jazz and some Rock from the 60-70's. The room is small (13 * 10 * 9). I have a Mc MC 352. I have looked at Harbeth (M30, SHL-5), ATC (SCM 19, 35 and 40) and Dynaudio Confidence C1. I'm looking for clear, non congested sound. I do have a REL strata III on hand that I could use to extend the lower frequency if a feel I need it. I usually listen at no more than 75-80 dB. Thanks in advance.

PS: this is a review/opinion based blind purchase. Dallas is an underserved City and the ones I have auditioned are too expensive or I did not like.

Agree with Dodgealum.. Based on your room size, musical taste and budget I'd try to hear the Harbeths. After many speakers, I bought the M-30's blind, and think I'm finally off the spearker merry-go-round.

The Harbeths are great for classical music yet I was surprised at how good they are with Rock/Jazz. As dodgealum says you may not need the sub. The M-30s seem to have more bass then their specs show. Vocal & acoustic music is natural and there's no fatigue.

The M-30's are the best monitor I've heard for low level listening sessions. I really wanted to hear the Dyn C-1, but never had the opportunity.. Good luck.
