It's a "space thing"...need help


I live in a smallish 1 bedroom in Manhattan for atleast another 16 months and am questioning an upgrade to different speakers. I don't forsee having the luxury of placing speakers 2-3 feet from a back wall, side space is not so much an issue. I currently have B&W 601s3 and run them with the Outlaw 1050 amp and AP Oval 9 cable.

I started looking at different speakers that take up less space (sub/sat) but now I'm just obsessed with finding that classic speaker that I will enjoy for years. I also want it to be a good foundation for HT but music is my passion. I am looking at Quad 11L, Axiom, Spendor s3/5, M&K K-7, Rocket, Energy Encore and KEF-2005.

Thoughts? Thanks.

Craig,
Share your love of classic English monitors and have owned several pairs. For this application though, I run the Gallo Micros with powered amp and am amazed at how well it does 2 channel with female vocal being my criteria for selection. Very smooth, imaging is decent with very good impact. Surprisingly sweet.
