Best small speakers?

Don't waste your time on the B&W. The Tyler Acoustic D3's smoke them. With that being said I would look into many others before B&W. Anyone else look into this Vapor Audio Cirrus design? It appears they don't hide anything in the design or construction. Top shelf components throughout. I don't own them but am tempted after doing a little research on these. Maybe not the safest bet but I like living on the edge a little. I would be shocked if they did not really sing. I know there are longer standing safer bets out there but people need to see the cabinet alone on the Vapor. Price out the components and you will see there is not much profit after the build time.

When I first got my Vapor Cirrus, I just had to take them apart to see the internals. First I found he uses some screws that have a totally unique head, so had to call him and find out what screwdriver bit I need to remove them. Ryan was totally cool about it. He said go ahead and take them apart, but please just go slow :) Since everything is CNC cut, the drivers fit really tight in the cutouts.

When I did get the drivers out I was even more amazed with the insides than I thought I would be. That cabinet literally is built like a fallout shelter! Ryan doesn't cut any corners.

Yea, add up the parts cost. My calculation is there's over 50% of the total cost in just raw parts alone. I count myself fortunate to have found out about his work ... I sure am glad to be rid of my Utopia Be's and Harbeth HL5's.

Thiel scs4 sounds amazing for a small speaker

Has anyone spent time with the Nola Boxers? I understand they come in significantly lower than the price stated by the OP, but reading pretty good reviews.

I own them and they are outstanding. Would not hesitate to recommend.
