Small size monitor suggestions

What's your budget?

I have tried about every monitor there is. I have a very small room and need the speakers no more than 18" from rear wall.
The following all work well in this situation:

North Acoustics Spirits,really nice speakers
northacoustics.com
Neat Petites
Joseph Audio RM7si
Linn Tukans, Katans, or Kans
AVI Neutrons
ATC as mentioned, but they need volume to sound their best
Aerial Acoustics Model 5
Von Schweikert VR1
Naim N-Sats
Spendor LS3/5

There are more, but these should get you started.

with Cyrus 8, you are limited with very few speakers.
You'll need at least double or triple amount of power to drive most of the sealed speakers ( close to the wall is never an issue .)

I'm a big fan of ProAc Tablette Reference 8's, and I own a pair of the Signatures. You can use these fairly close to a rear wall (mine are about 18" out in my office), and they sound pretty good. Another option is the bookshelf model from Induction Dynamics. I have heard these stacked in a bookshelf, with books right up against them, and they still sounded great.

Tom.

I've had my Dulcets for about 6 months now, and they are excellent close to the wall in a near-field situation. I love their clear, direct, open-throated sound. Although I like the Totem sound very much, I think the Dulcets superior for the application you describe at least until the Totem Mani level.

ATCs are great, however very critical of front end and inefficient. Spendors are great musically and forgiving of front end flaws. Axioms are best value.
