Your advice appreciated: Bookshelf Speakers for my Conrad Johnson CAV45-S2

Used monitor audio or Fritz.  In a room that small having at least 4 to 6 panels can really help your bass with bookshelves 

That C-J amp is way too nice to use with a pair of mediocre speakers.  See if you can find a pair of used BBC LS5/3As.  They won't shake the rafters, but the sound quality will be 5 star.

Maybe look at used Totem.

Find a pair of Fritz and spring for them.
