My ProAc R2.5's too big, need alternativ


Smaller room (18'x12')with no vaulted ceilings. concerned that 2.5's too much for the room. I need something that is sweet and musical (spoiled by Proac) but does really well with blues'/rock played loud like live music. Can any monitors do this? What about planers? Have Bryston 7B mono's and CJ PV12 preamp and Classe cdp .5 cd player. On the other hand, maybe the Proac's are top notch in any size room. Experienced ideas and suggestions very welcome and appreciated.

keep the 2.5's. alternatively, the 1.5's are also excellent, but don't do it until you give the 2.5's a shot. my brother-in-law has 2.5's in a 14'x16' room & they're awesome! he's got 1.5's in a smaller room... re: monitors, (like the proac 1sc's?) sure they can rock, but ya need an outstanding x-over & a pair of quality subs.
