Speaker recommendations please

I have a small room with a sprung floor, brick and plaster walls. 12' by 13', with an incursive chimney breast and a curved bay. Not ideal I know. I want unobtrusive floor or stand mounts that will be, of course, everything. Smooth, dynamic, seemless, spacious etc, which do not require too much rear space.
The Amp is a MF A1000. I do not want to change. Although it is a high current total class A, low resistive values make it cry, 8 ohm's is best and the higher the sensitivity the better it sings. Preferbly above 89db. (Ie Avalons and Magnepans are out of the question!)

I second the Meadowlark spkrs. Easy to place and easy to drive. I have used them w/tubes(Anthem amp1) and ss(Audible Illusions S-120).

You should check out a pair of the Von Schweikert VR-1s. They are have a frequency response of 40Hz to 25 kHz (-3dB points, in-room), the Impedance is 8 ohms nominal, 5 ohms min. and the sensitivity is 89 dB @one watt/one meter. (in-room, non anechoic). These are one of the most musical sounding speakers you will find and best of all they are $999 for the pair.

Arc from Wilson Benesch is expensive, but would work well
in your room.

I suggest you should contact Ric Cummins at Argent Audio (www.roomlens.com) and listen to his advice about his Rosinante Dulcineas monitor speakers. They are awesome. Good luck.
