Help me choose which speakers to buy

DCM Time Windows, there is a pair for $200 right now.

JC, Opinions are a good place to start, but let your ears decide. I work in a field where I'm always asked my thoughts , my stock answer is "Who cares what I think ultimatly you have to live with it." One thing in your favor is the price point you are working with. If you want to make a change you shouldn't loose too much money. If at all possible try to audition as many speakers as you can. Start in your price range and go a little above and below to hear what is out there. Good Luck and Happy Hunting

I second DCM time windows

PSB's are what I would definitely suggest. Probably one of the best bang for the buck out there. I would want to move up as high in their line as you think you can afford. The Alpha's are a great place to start.

NHT used. just about any of their small monitors is a tight little fast speaker with beautiful lacquer finish on many. fwiw, you really should listen to a number of different types. with $200 more you could really take a big jump if you do some homework and buy right. small room now tho does not need extreme low bass so don't get too concerned about that spec. add a sub if you get to bigger space.
