Speaker Recommendation for iDecco


After a few months with the ERA DS4.5's I feel like the soundstage isn't quite what I'm looking for in my secondary system. It seems small with minimal depth.

So far I've only auditioned the Nola Boxers. The speakers sounded great to my tin ears but a little directional. When I shifted only sightly from the center spot the soundstage just collapsed and I could easily locate the speakers even with my eyes closed. The dealer is a great guy and offered to let me take them home for a few weeks so I will likely give that a try. Another contender I'm considering trying is the Ohm Acoustics 1000 speaker but I never heard them. The omnidirectional concept is interesting to me but the WAF might be an issue.

With the iDecco I will need speakers that are relatively easy to drive in my small 14X11 room. I listen mostly to jazz, blues and some R&B (the real stuff,,not that processed garbage being produced today,,,enough of my ranting). Now the hard part,,,my budget is limited to a maximum of $2,000. The less the better. Used is OK as well.

Any input would be appreciated.
