THE BEST SMALL SPEAKERS

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

You wont need the SUB, according to the room dimensions you gave...!

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.

Are those the demensions of the speakers? Dimensions are in inches. Almost any bookshelf speaker is smaller. For $450 new a pair of B&W DM601 S2 are great. For even less, even the B&W DM302 for $250 new (Stereophile recommended) are a steal.
