Need Speaker Opinions please


My room size is 8 FEET HIGH -20 FEET LONG -14 FEET WIDE. is this considered a small medium or large sized listeing room? I am pretty new to this hi fi game so there are alot of things im unsure of, i live in a very small town with no major hi fi shops, this is why i need your thoughts, I want floorstanding full range speakers, my budget is 4000 dollars, i want speakers that output enough bass that i woulden't have to add an external sub. Can u guys give me the names of some speaker that fit this bill, the few allready on my list are, gershman avant gardes,legacy focus "used", and the tannoy d 500 or 700's . I listen to alot of rock music, so, the less neuteral sounding the speaker the better, i have 1000 cd's and most of them are poor recordings. the rest of my gear consists of the mcintosh mc 42 premp, mcintosh mc 352 power amp. can u guys add to my list of speakers i should be sure to check out along the lines of what i am looking for, i could really use some help here, thanks for taking the time to read.

Hello, Someone put a pair of Aerial Acoustic 7bs for sale today for $2500.00 here on audiogon. I have the Aerial 6 model and have heard the 7bs. I think they are great speakers and for that price a great deal. If you buy them, you should get the optional spiked stands from Aerial. They go for about $400.00. The Aerial 6 is just right for my smaller 12x18 room. The 7bs are Stereophile class B recommended full range speakers and there is a small review in the April issue. The cabinets are about as good as it gets, and the rose walnut adds agout $500.00 to the price. If you have any questions about them, feel free to email me.
Korn, I went back and checked the ad I told you about and see that I made a mistake. The ad is for 7As not 7bs. I don't know the older model. I still believe you should check out the 7Bs and the Model 6.
