I've heard System Audio Mantra 10 speakers are very special and very musical. You can give Oz a call at Let There Be Sound and he can tell you more about them. I can give you his info if interested (or you can google the store and tell him David referred you). He has been very helpful to me with all my musical gear. The Mantra 10 retail for $1500. Check out the System Audio website. The Aura series is still good but the Mantra are even better. It is a great value from what I've heard.
What's best bookshelf speaker for an 8x10 room?
I have a small 8x10 listening room. Looking for something used in a bookshelf. Currently have Kef 104/2's but they need more room to breath. I play rock/hard rock music. Been told Merlin TSM's and Kef LS50 are nice. Anything else you experts would suggest? Trying to stay under $1,500.
