Small Room, Move Often, Speaker Suggestions.

Hello out there:

My job requires that I move often, and therefor, my listening room is usually small with little or no opportunity for treatment. I am considering the purchase of small monitors that will hopefully be more "room friendly" than my current floor standers.

The speakers will be powered with a LFD Mistral SE Amp (warm and tube like, 80 WPC), and AP Oval Nine cables.

My first thoughts are Tyler-Linbrook Monitors, Talon Audio Khites, Spendor S3/5 Monitors, small Sonus Fabers, etc.

Any thoughts, suggestions, and especially experience with the listed speakers will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards, Dave.

Sonus Fabers small speakers are amazing. The Concertos sound very fine, but if you can afford them the Guaneri Homage is unreal for a small speaker.

Much thanks to everyone! You have all given me suggestions and helped me to create a shortlist. I am going to audition the Talon Khites and the Merlin TSM-M's in about a week. If you'd like a report from a true newbe, I will be more than happy to post something.

Thinking about the report, what should a newbe take notes on, to make the report valuable to you all?

Best regards and many thanks, Dave.

Spendors, Spendors, or....Spendors. Really. There are three Spendors that would fill the bill perfectly. The obvious S35's, the SP3/1p's, and of course a used pair of LS35a's. All of these will simply sound GREAT with any of those speakers (I've owned em all). The best midrange is the LS35a's, the closest to a full range is the SP3/1p's, and the little S35's are just beautiful. You honestly can NOT go wrong with any of these gems. Good luck!

PS. I chose the 3/1p's.....for now....
