Monitors Suggestions for my setup


I recently setup a secondary system in my bed room. It is 11x13 with a queen sized bed and a desk. This is going to be a two channel system consiting of components which have been deomoted out of my main rig. It consists of a Onkyo ht Reciver (tx-ds797)(manual says its stable into 4ohms) which retailed for $1000, a pair of old sony speakers from a boom box I used to have and a paradigm ps-1200 sub. I want to replace the sonys with something much better. I listen to all types of music. I currently have paradigm studio 100 v.2's im my main rig and like them but I just want something that sounds different. (I just want to be able to switch between the two systems and get different sounds) I am also looking for something that looks very nice and am willing to spend up to $1000 in the used market. I am really concerned with having smooth mids and highs first and not too worried about bass performance. So far I am considering the Sonus Faber Concertinos, Monitor Audio gr-10 and on the not so pretty side GM Eropas, and NHT sb3. Thanks for any help you can give me.

The tylers look very nice. Do you think that they will be to revealing for the electronics that I am going to be driving them with?

As for the paradigms, One day I hope to put them on perminant home theater duty and get something really nice for my critical listening but that will be a few years down the road.
how would you describe the sound of the tylers? are they more of a musical or analitical speaker? after reading a lot I think I would like to try a speaker that leans towards the musical side. I agree with you that I should leave room to grow I just want to make sure they are not going to sound like trash with my current electronics.
There is a guy selling the sonus faber concertinos localy and I can get them and their matching stands for $650. What do yall think about these speakers?
Well I ended up picking up the sonus fabers today, mostly because of the local sale, and I have to say that they sound fantastic. Thanks for all the imput guys.
