Hi I've just bought a Yamaha RX-V1900 amp and would like some advice on which speakers (bookshelf)to run with it.  I've tried a pair of KEF iQ30 and Mordaunt-Short MS10 speakers.  Both speakers are quite good, but I can't help but think that there must be a better match. I auditioned the KEFs and was impressed.  But at home they're not quite the same.  It may be my room's acoustics.  I find that listening fatigue sets in after about 20 minutes of playing the KEFs.  I like the MS10's but they also lack better midrange clarity and power.  I've also had a pair of Quad 11Ls, but found them to be a bit too bottom ended.  I'm sure that my room acoustics has something to do with it.  It's about 7m x 4.5m, with 3 large widow surfaces. 

Any advice on which bookshelf speakers, about 80-150 watt would match the Yamaha would be appreciated.
