Accuphase Bookshelf Speaker Pairing recommend

I’ve owned many bookshelf speakers including Harbeth, Spendor, Falcon, etc.

My favorite shoe box size speaker is the Harbeth P3ESR. You should be able to find a mint used pair in the $1500-$2000 range. BTW, you will find that many have damaged grills and corners because the grills were not removed correctly.

This is one of the many positive reviews on the P3ESR!

+1 choice for a very small dimensions room that you have highlighted

Used Merlin TSM, preferably a later model. Sealed box makes them easy to locate near a wall and integrate with a little sub if you choose. I run an SVS 3000 micro with mine in a large room with great results. I bought a pair of the little Harbeths in rosewood a while back, just to check them out; they’re lovely little speakers and certainly prettier but far short of the Merlins to my ears.

the Harbeths are overpriced. They are just not the best value for the buck.

Compared to what?
