I'm fond of classical music and Jazz, going to concerts whenever possible. I have failed to learn appreciating listening to classical and Jazz music at home, the sound never is good enough, but then again, I never had good speakers either (money going to concerts rather then equipment). I'd like to change that and finally be able to also enjoy the music at home.

The room I have is quite small - 4 meter long by 2.5 meter wide and 4 meter high and I'm looking for a pair of speakers budget of $500-600

So I started reading up on speakers and what a steep learning curve! If I'm right, Magnepan seems to be recommended by everyone when it comes to Classical music. They also seem to get into my budget range, but I'm afraid that they will not do well in the small room.

Can anyone confirm, or even better, suggest which way to go?
