SMALL, but efficient speaker

To be used with a flea-powered amp and/or a battery-powered integrated, also of limited juice. Single-driver need not apply. I've been down that road and find all I tried to be too BRIGHT and beamy with not enuff balls down low for Deep Purple, Zep and the like. They're OK for light jazz, audiophile crap and chick singers, but that is NOT my bag.

I'll accept a very small floorstander (was thinking Rega R3), or stand mount. Nothing bigger.

Room 10X10, so quite small, by US standards.

Your thoughts, please. Oh, Hawkwind RULES.

Take advice from Audiokinesis and your small square room already has bass problem you don't need low bass speakers but bass traps.

I second the 3A Reference MM De Cappo for small room applications like this... Mate them with some good quality stands. They are efficient, dynamic, fast and detailed. The bass may surprise you in small rooms, but if you need more, get some tube traps and a tight little sub like an Onix Rocket ULW-10 that comes with a microphone that does a pretty descent job of automatically calibrating the sub to your room.... very reasonably priced and nice quality.

While I love the De Capo i's , I own them , your request for " flea or battery powered amps " may not mate well with them . The De Capo's do require a minimum of 5 watts .
I have heard them with a 3 watt SET , they were not at their best ! YMMV .
