For that size of room, you should also consider the Wilson Tiny Tots and Duette 2's. At one point, I had the Duette 2's in a room 4 times the size of your room and they were awesome. They would be killer in your room. I am not a fan of the B&W sound. I have always found KEF speakers to be bright. A speaker that would fatigue me quickly. I think the Watt Puppy are too large for your room. I recently heard Viking Acoustic Berlin speakers. They would go great in your room also.
Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef
All hail the collective knowledge of Audiogon - last time you talked me out of wasting money on upgrading my ceiling speakers (I ended up just buying a Sonos:Amp to power what I already had up there and called it a day).
So now with all of that money saved, I'm toying with the idea of replacing the stereo in my office. I won't even say what I have now (If it ain't got no highs... and it ain't got no lows...). Yeah, you get the gist.
The office is about 11' x 12' - I think this limits the size of the speakers that I'd like to put in there since I won't be sitting very far from the speakers.
Some contenders that I've been toying with:
Thoughts on the selection? Any of these "too big" for my confined space?
Thanks!

The B&W speakers all sound like B&W speakers, in my mind, so you have to want that particular sound. You can’t really exchange them. Make yourself happy. I am not sure about the Tune tots but may I suggest bespoke speakers from Fritz? The bass in the small 2-way is pretty amazing for the size. Talk to him about your placement issues, he can make you speakers specifically for close-wall placement. I think you’ll find it a better sounding and higher value choice. Fritz uses similar or better drivers but to my ear he tunes them better than Wilson, and can do custom arrangements. Personally, I prefer the units with the ring radiators. I am not very familiar with McIntosh, but I ended up with a Luxman integrated and am very happy. |
The Harbeth P3ESR should fit the bill!! https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=harbeth+p3esr+review&docid=608045666519482446&mid=5D7EB... |
