suggestions for small speaker. floorstander of bookshelf.

i modded a pair of vandersteen 2c and i believe them to be too big for my 14' x 16' room. looking to downsize. i want to keep a full range sound. don't care if they are two foot tall. would like to be able to place them close to the wall. i live no place close to audition any speaker. i'm a strings, jazz vocals listener. i am looking at a pair of jse .8. i know they can't be the only option. thanks

Send me a few pics of your set up to
audioconnect@comcast.net
please measure room exactly
my 14’ x 16’ room.?
are speakers on the 14 or 16 wall
Measure from exact center of speaker as follows
how far out from the wall behind speakers
how far out from side walls
ear height inches from ground at relaxed seating position
distance from your left ear to speaker Left
distance from your Right ear to speaker Right
distance of Left speakers tweeter to Right speakers tweeter inches
After this we can address proper tilt back
correct power response and diffuse early first reflection pt.

Platinum Audio Solo speakers, small 2-way, NO need for subwoofer...
read: "the Solos in-room are flat down to 32Hz, and even make a brave try at reproducing the 25Hz band!"

I let my Vandy 2cs go a long time ago and have regretted it ever since.

Until I bought Spatial M2 Turbos...  They're over your budget, however.
