Do you know of small speakers that sound ''BIG'' ?

I was wondering if anyone has heard of small or monitor speakers that defy perception by sounding larger or bigger than they are ? I have always owned floorstanders and do not have much experience with the smaller fry....for the sake of discussion I would like that we NOT include small floorstanders - just speakers that we would normally use a stand with. Thanks !

Purchased used on Audiogon, the Platinum Audio Solo's are in the $600 range, and definitely qualify as smaller monitor speakers that sound large.
You didn't specify the size of your listening room, but these do quite a job, including providing enough bass quality and extension to provoke a broad grin upon first hearing what this smaller speaker can do.

Check out the Reference 3A Royal Virtuoso or Decappo but careful to match wih right amp. Many use with SET but the speaker's impedendance has a lift in and can result in a tilted treble. Or you can look into a pair of Sonus Faber Auditors.

Good Kuck!*>)

Its more than physics...its room interaction and placement...small speakers can sound very big in the right(SMALL) room...that is what they are designed for afterall...that being said I like:
