Best Small Speaker System You've ever Heard

I'm learning so much from the "best speaker thread". I'd like to understand what the best small speaker system is that you've ever heard is.

I'll start:

JMlabs Micro Utopia BE driven by Manley 300B push pull mono-blocs; cabled with Nordost Valhalla

source was a TNT HRX with the heavy platter option and w/dynavector cart (not sure which one but around $4K)
through a Herron phono and pre amp

The 'little' system with the little speakers has a sweet treble that goes on for ever, flat frequency response, can be real punchy when they need to be, tonally very good (not Quad ESL 57 but very good), reproduces all genre except large orchestra

What makes it work in my opinion is the amps, cable, speaker synergy in this case.

Anyways wuod love the read about some best small speakers you have all heard.

Check out Tonian Acoustics
Their TL NFSM monitor does a lot of things right
A musical transducer for sure be sure to add some heavy duty stands and listen in awe....

My favorite compact system is as follows:
Dynaudio Special 25 Speakers on Dynaudio stands filled with shot.

Ayre AX-7 integrated amplifier.

Ayre CX-7 CD player.

All wired with Nordost Heimdall speaker and interconnects.

Incredible sound quality, and can easily hold it's own against much larger and more expensive systems.

The LSA1s ($2500), the new version. I heard them improve each day at the RMAF and bought a pair on Sunday. At this moment I have no place for a second system, but they were so good!

Mark-Daniel Maximus Monitor blows away anything I have ever heard in the way of small monitors in terms of approximating reality, soundstaging, depth, imaging and pure palpable vibrancy. Unfortunately, they gobble power to do this - I drive them with horizontally bi-amped Moscode 401HRs. And I have either owned or heard many of the speakers alluded to above - daylight separates M-D from the others...........
