speakers

[earthquake]

I have Paradigm Studio 20 speakers in a small room. I've had them for
number of years and quite happy in all regards ... except size. The
room is quite small and I'm thinking of new speakers. I have an
NAD7155...any suggestions for high end quality or otherwise
replacements? Thanks!

Unsure if my other response(s) came through, here I go again...
The room is small, space is the main issue. I want to get the most
'bank for the buck' in terms of quality sound with limited space. And,
how do monitors differ from other bookshelf type speakers?

I want to stay away from the satellite movement. Someone mentioned the
ERA 4 as an option.
