I have a square room of 12 square meters with a wardrobe and a L-shaped desk. Part of the desk stands almost in the middle of the room.

There is nothing in front of the desk, so it’s possible to place floor-standing speakers there. But I have serious doubts that it makes sense to get floor-standing speakers for a 12 m² room.

I’m leaning toward the speakers mentioned in the topic, which will at least initially be placed on the edge of the desk (the desk is 60 cm wide). There will be about 1.5 meters of free space behind the speakers.

So, here’s what I have: an Arcam A25 amplifier. The source is a desktop computer. Previously, I owned Mordaunt-Short Aviano 1 and Aviano 6 — I really liked their sound. I listen to almost everything except classical and jazz, including rock and hard rock.

Among the well-known options, I’m considering either ELAC Vela BS 404.2 (€1855-€2060) or KEF R3 Meta (€1810 – €2370).

I would appreciate any practical advice and possible alternatives.
