Default Speakers for small room

I would suggest looking at the smallest Martin Logan speakers.


These are superb choices. Their hybrid planar speakers are not
electrostatics, but do sound much better than most conventional
speakers. 5 ohms as well. I spoke last spring to one of their
marketing people who was in my favorite audio shop that day.

The said it was designed with an $800 consumer 6 ohm capable
amplifier in mind. I pestered him some more and correctly guessed,
which he verified, that it was designed with a Denon 3802 during
the testing phases. He then showed me an impedance graph and it
was nearly flat at 5-6 ohms. I asked him and he said that most
6 ohm speakers dip to 4 or 3 ohms at their lowest impedance and
any good 6 ohm amplifier will be capable of dealing with this, so
a nearly flat 5 ohm impedance is easy by comparison.

http://www.martinloganowners.com/ - a great online group and
information place. The model in question is the Mosaic. They
also make a slightly smaller Montage, but the Mosaic has a planar
midrange as well, which is a night and day improvement.
