great and small bookshelf speaker-

This is what I need:
A speaker (front-ported?) that will not suffer too much for being on a shelf-
Less than a foot tall- and something that one might not feel the need to add a sub (very subjective) $1000-1500 new or used-
Reward to anyone supplying information leading to a conviction-
seriously, I will make a killer compilation of your favorite kind of music to the person who helps me get this right-

Bob,

Interesting that you say none of the M&K are ported, yet in the specs some mention different frequency response with port open or port closed. BTW, one small M&K was listed as 35 hz bottom end extension with port open and only 80 hz with the port closed. Big difference. Enough of a diference that a sub would be required with port closed.

Enjoy,

TIC

Dynaudio Audience 42W if you can tolerate a 14" speaker. Or, perhaps, the 42C speakers.

You might audition the Von Schweikert VR-1. I have them sitting in bookshelves and they sound almost as good as they do on stands. Very realistic and believable soundstage.
