THE BEST SMALL SPEAKERS


I HAVE A CONFINED AREA AND I AM LOOKING FOR AS CLOSE TO A FULL RANGE SPEAKER AS POSSIBLE. SATALITES WITH SUBWOOFER?[WISHFUL THINKING?] YOUR THOUGHTS. 19" H X 10" W X 20" D

I had a very small pair of Sonus Fabers Electors. Not only are they exceptional looking in Walnut but you wont beleive the sound they put out. New they were 3500 but Ihave seen used pairs for $1500. I boghut these not because of the size but because of the quality. I thought they were better then anything else in the price range regardless of size. You wont be dissapointed.
I am also looking for good almost full range small book shelf type speakers. The two that have stood out so far are the Totem Signature 1 and the B & W 504. Both speakers are in the $2000 range and need good clean power to perform. Good luck and let everyone know what you decide on. Cory
I second Perfectimage. I own a pair of Sonus Faber Signum. It is great, and probably one of the best for classical, vocal, sort of music in the class. There is a terrific dealer on Audiogon. Lookup Paolo_Italy. I don't have SUB but I don't have any complaint about their bass.
I am using JM Reynaud Twin Mk2's that are very musical and good with all types of music. They are rated at 55hz but go much deeper, though with drop off. I have also noticed that there are many floor standing tower designs by PSB, Linn, Castle, etc., that take up about the same amount of space as my mini monitors do with the stands included in the equation. I went with stand mounted speakers because of our cats, but could have just as easily plopped towers in their place for added LF response. Due to the slim front baffle and beveled cabinetry, some of the towers disperse the sound in a wide manner very much like a mini monitor.
