Small speaker suggestions


Hello all, I'm looking for speaker suggestions. I have listened to Totem Arros Dynaudio excite 12 as well as some B and W. The dyns and B and W were being played through a switch box that may have contributed but neither impressed.

My budget is 500 - 700 for a small bookshelf or floor standing speaker.

I listen to a lot of rock as well as jazz. I want something that shows the details in the jazz recordings but doesn't reveal the flaws in the rock recordings.

My first listening session with the Arros was short and with music that I was unfamiliar with so I want to give them another shot.

I plan on going to this dealer next weekend. They also carry Rega, Sonus Faber, Vandersteen etc. I will definitely have to give the Rega's a listen.

I looked up Silverline's website but do not see anywhere that links to a dealer so I could go listen. They do look attractive and very small. How do they perform with bass response?

Thanks for the suggestions and continued suggestions.
In the budget category you define Jrod, you may want to consider the Behringer Truth 2-way monitors. They have very linear (smooth) response and respectably low distortion.

The B2031P (available at many location on the web) has been tested independently by ZaphAudio. The response plot I'll directly link here.

You can see Zaph's write up and his tests on the individual drivers in his blog.

Very reasonably priced, with accurate presentation and voicing.
