Looking for speaker ideas.

Looking for speaker ideas and room size is 11 w x 16 l x 9 ft ceilings.....room has acoustical panels. Music ranges from Big Band , Blues, Rock.

Equipment so far is :

Wyred 4 Sound st-500
deHavilland Mercury Preamp
Sim audio phono pre
VPI Industries HW-19 mkIII GLOSS BLACK W/MOERCH UP-4 / Ortofon Black

Have looked at different Spendor , Proac, Totem speakers but not sure if those would work for the rock music and would a sub be needed with those if they would be able to play rock music ?

Budget is $2000-2500

All 3 are decent choices, all 3 better w/subwoofer for rock, especially the smaller stand mount models. I'd add Vandersteen and GoldenEar  to the list. Cheers,

@bassdude "reviewers are finding these are so incredible they're replacing their Avantgardes, Wilsons, etc. with them."  

Who? No mention of this on their website. Cheers,

Are you really planning on changing preamp and speakers at the same time? That is a road to confusion.
If the preamp is sold, but you still have speakers, suggest making the preamp purchase first so you can get a handle on that in your system before you evaluate a new speaker at the same time.
It's hard to forget sometimes, but you aren't in a race. :-) Cheers,
