smaller room monitors

Does anyone have a recommendation or experience with a listening position 7 to 8 feet from speakers?  This is for 50/50 music/home theater.  Would 2.1 or 2.2 system work here.  Or just throw up two floorstanders?  Don't mind buying used speakers.  Have a SVS PB2000 sub I can use to supplement low end.  Thought maybe someone had already been down this road to save some time/$.  Like to be under $1500 for 2 speakers.  Warmer>brighter.

Once I added acoustic treatments ($700) I was off to the races. The room sounds great now with the LS50 monitor. I am going to put in a PAradigm Persona 3F floor stander using a DSP capable preamp. I know that the treated room can now handle the large speaker.

The LS50 passive can be had for $800 used. If you do not have amp + preamp the ACTIVE version of the LS50 is something to look into.
