Better/best fullrange nearfield speakers?

(5.2 meter) * 3.85 meter =20.02 m2

Doesn’t exist? Barefoot Sound MM27 sure works splendid.

Many years ago i used PMC IB2 and Krell FPB 600C and KPS 25sc, aswell as Teac P-70 and D-70.
However, that room was larger and allowed another positioning. So i have no idea if those PMC monitors would handle such cramped positioning as these MM27.

I have heard typically side loaded speakers with too high crossover (bass to mid). It sounds bad.
I think bass drivers should be at 80-100Hz when side loaded, otherwise it doesn't sound homogenic.
I could imagine a closed tweeter and mid section and dipole bass.
DNA had a speaker like that, i really liked it and it allowed close range listening with a superb bass response.
However, Donalds speakers disappeared a bit too quick sadly.

op

so you have your answer... then why ask?

enjoy...

Because i look for options!

KEF LS-50s with a REL T/5 or the new KEF KC62 subwoofer

The only options I know are active monitors. Dutch and Dutch will get below 30hz in a small room are pretty flat from 100hz > 20khz forget about crossovers in these modern actives they're controlled by DSP. The Genelec 8351b will compete with the D&D , little wider dispersion great off axis, cartoid design, will sound about the same to about 30° just little less SPL. Another you might consider though I've never heard them are the larger Genelec 8361.
