My room is very small, (12'x11'). I have been through many speakers and even a sub/monitor. Floorstanders did not work. Linn speakers worked well, also ATC an AVI monitors worked very well. I finally settled on Joseph Audio RM7si. They do every thing right, they are front ported. I listen in the nearfield with a futon as my seat and a large dhrury (sp?) rug hanging on the wall behind me.
Good Luck
