The PSB Alpha B1 are really excellent speakers, but you need to be aware that they don't have any bass to speak of. Most people would want some sort of subwoofer with them. The Sony SA-W3000 subwoofer goes for about $130, and would be adequate for a small area such as you are using, but you need a small floor space for it.
For a speaker that will give you a better full-range overall sound, you might want to look at the PSB Image B6 speakers.
Another good one is the Monitor Audio M2.
Thanks for the feedback.
I listened to a variety of PSB bookshelf speakers and my decision came down to two speakers: the PSB Imagine B in glossy white vs the B&W 685.
Although both sounded great (I am not an audiophile), the PSB speakers in white just look phenomenal!
I just ordered the PSB in glossy white for $1,100 plus taxes (12%) here in Canada. They should be here within 2-3 weeks.
