Yes, I know I should google, but just call me lazy...

I'm looking to spend c. 500 GBP / $CDN 1300 / $US 900 on a pair of standmount
speakers for a room 15' square(ish) that's semi-open at one end. Currently on
the list to audition a

B&W CM2
B&W DM 602 (maybe too big for the room?)
B&W 705 (over-budget at $CDN 2200, but I'd like to cf. them to the others)
JM Labs 806S
Totem Rainmaker
Dynaudio 52 (if I can find a pair in this benighted city)

I'd be grateful for any comments/suggestions.

What amp & source will you be using what music do you listen to?

Amp is a 60 Wpc Rotel, source is almost always CD (Marantz 63 Mk II). Music is
all sorts - and I'd hope that competent speakers would reproduce all sorts
competently - but current heavy rotation is dominated by downbeat electronica.
