Following the passive theme, for a smaller room you could easily consider Focal JM Labs Micro Utopia Be - easily one of the most open and sweet sounding compact speakers ever made. You'd still have �2k left out of the price of the 5200s to buy a decent amplifier.

It's also a lot easier to add other sources to this configuration.

Cheers,

David
