Wife and I just signed the papers and take possession in 2 months. My only problem with this place, My man cave is going from 20x18 feet to 13x12 :( So I need some help guys. I'm currently running my sp3 with a pair of Klipsch heresy's, but these are a little big for the new room. I want to know if you think I'll be happy with a pair of Reference 1's after having these heresy's. Or if you have a recommendation of a speakers with a good range for this size room.

here are 3 I've been debating that I've seen on audiogon

I wish I could find a pair of these in the maple

    Since this is a POLK discussion area I suggest the LSi15. I have 4, along with a LSiC, PSW1000, and a 57" TV, in a similar size room and love it.
