"I want to purchase an SET amp. Not sure what kind of tube yet. However, I need monitors. My room is 12'x13'. Price range for the speakers, $3-$5k (new or used). Listen to orchestral, small ensemble to R&B."

I understand the SET amp thingy. You have a small room, and ANY speaker won't need much power to fill it. Given all that...

Have you considered the Dynaudio B-something or other 8" two-way? They are fine speakers, and in your price range. Add a sub, and your 12x13 room will be one kick butt place to be. Be aware: Some bass trapping and mid absorption will be very helpful.

The advantage of SET in a small room is you don't need humungous speakers - samtellig 05:27:45 09/24/10 (1)
