Forward Monitor with Detail Speed and liquid Highs


Want some advice on a set on monitor speakers. I have tried a ton of speakers trying to get something that I can settle on. Dunlavy SC-I, Dynaudio 40, Totem Mite Dreamcatcher Arro, Quad 11L, Ohm Walsh Micro Tall, Epos ELS-3, Zu Druid, MMG to name a few. The few of these that stand out are the Dunlavy (loved them) and the Epos ELS-3 (really special for the price).

I have my eyes out for a set of Dunlavy's but it may be awhile before I can get a set. In the mean time I would like a set of speakers that will keep me happy. I really love detail and a speaker that can disappear. I guess I like the "front row" presentation.

I'd like help putting together a short list of speakers with tremendous detail and the ability to disappear. Here is what I have.

Low end:

Usher S-520
Epos ELS-3
Triangle Stella

Higher End:

Tyler Taylo Mini Reference
Mark & Daniel Ruby
Usher BE-718
Totem Model One

I have plenty of power 150w integrated and am using the system in a small room. The problem with the Zu Druids and the MMGs is that they overpowered the room. I'm pretty sure any floor stander is going to be too much for the space or I would consider the Gallo Ref 3.1. I even have my concerns about the Usher BE-718 because of the amount of bass I have read it puts out. Quads and Ohms were too laid back for me. Dynaudio were a little thin, but I'm sure as I moved up the line they would get much better. I want a liquid detail, speed, accuracy.

Any recommendations or opinions on the above speakers would be great.

Room is 12x11. Speakers are 1 foot from left wall, 4 feet frint right wall., 7 feet apart and 1-2 feet front frint wall. Room has a lot of furniture in it. Bed, desk, book shelf. Carpeted with a small window on rear wall and a 46 " tv above and between the speakers. Not idea I know. I think the room leands Tony desire for a quick, transparent speaker. Amp us Dussun v6i.
Harbeths are really good..smooth but more laid back than you may want.. Totem One more forward but less smooth.
Ohm is making an SE version of the MicroWalsh Tall (sells for $1400/pr). If you ask for it with the "European Voicing" the sound will be bright and very detailed. This version was too bright for my taste but it may be to your liking. I'm surprised the MMG's didn't work. They're fairly bass shy. Maybe you didn't have the right placement.

The Mark & Daniels will likely have too much bass for your room. Good Luck!
