Speaker recommendation - 3K budget

I am considering new speakers. My listening room/home office is 11 X 12 X 8. Electronics include Linn Ikemi CD, Plinius 8150 int. amp. Current speakers - B&W Matrix 803.

My goal is to improve the resolution, transparency and to "tighten" the bass.

I listen to jazz, vocals, classical, some rock at moderate listening levels.

My budget is 3K and used is OK. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks, Joel

Maggies, and although the 3.6's are definately the way to go if you can afford them, you might find the 1.6's are all you need/want.

Made a decison, yet? Sure is an amazing diversity of opinion out there, eh? I hope you can listen to some of the main suggestions, like Thiel and Maggie. They are VERY different, and your ears will tell you what you like. For a smallish room and your taste for (I gather) acoustic music, my first thought would be the DeVore Gibbon 8, a smallish 2-way floorstanding speaker that was awarded speaker of the year by 6moons.com. I've heard it, and believe it is a special speaker. It's very room-friendly and appropriate for your space. A speaker to really enjoy! Check devorefidelity.com, and give them a call!
