Hi Smog,

Your 12' x 12' room is perhaps the most important limiting factor here, and you will probably want to get some smaller speakers, as they tend to be more flexible than big ones when it comes to positioning.

That being said, I have recently received several different minimonitors that I've been able to try out with my Blue Circle CS integrated, and while the amp has been able to drive all of them very well, my favorite small speakers for the CS is still the Reynaud Twin, which has recently been updated by the factory.

Cheers,
Brian

thanks for the info. i heard the last incarnation of the Twin and found it very smooth and pleasant sounding. maybe not as much punch as some rock music requires, but an overall great speaker. any major changes with the new Twin? i noticed you sell Shahinians, how does the Compass mate? thanks for your help.

Yes, I'll be bringing some JMR speakers, but I haven't yet decided whether they'll be the Twins or the Trentes...

The new Twin Signatures offer the same overall tonality as the last version of this minimonitor, but with greater bass definition and a bit more "slam" as well.

Regarding the Compass, this too makes for a great match with the Blue Circle CS. (In fact, I showed off exactly this combination at last year's AK-Fest!) And the Compass would also work very well in your room. But it IS more expensive than the Twin Signature...
