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!)

Check out the Monitor Audio Studio and Gold series stand mounted speakers. Very easy to drive with good sensitivity. Will work well in a smallish room. They have good synergy with Musical Fidelity amps.

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.
