New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker?

I can spend up to $2000...thanks for the replies

Zafrann,

Some great suggestions posted. You might want to check out Ohm Micro series. There's a review on 6moons that might give you an idea if they'd work. 120 day home trial makes it nice to find out. Good luck.

I was thinking of a speaker that was reasonably priced and had great tonal balance. I admit I have never tried Maggie 1.6's in a room that small.

One friend in my audio group has 1.6's in a spare room that's maybe 11 X 14 and they sound wonderful, maybe that's enough larger space to accommodate.

In spite of reactions here, I would likely try them myself if faced with that space. If it sucked, I'd pull em out. If it worked, it would be a speaker I could live with, even at low volume level.

You might consider the Proac tablette Reference 8 signature, they are very musical!
Good luck

At $2k used, I would put Merlin TSMs on the list but consult with Bobby @ Merlin to see if the room is big enough and if your electronics would mate well with his speaker. He will give you an honest answer.
