Cost no Object but Small Room

Marten Design Coltranes would be hard to beat in performance/size. i seriously considered them for the rear channels of my 2-channel room.

other possibilities would be the Kharma Midi and Mini Exquisites.

those would be my top small 'cost-no-object' speakers. i did own the big Exquisite 1D's in my 12' x 18' room for three years and they were magnificent in that room.

your system uses the same gear as mine; and assuming that you already like the 'sound' of your Kharma's.....any of the above speakers would take you much further down that path.

i had the Kharma Midi Exquisities in my room for 4 months; very nice. but the Kharmas are much more expensive than the Coltranes (which are already expensive at US List price of $50k).

Thanks Mike...I do like my speakers though with development of new tweeters incl Kharma's own diamond, I am intrigued. But the basic sound, definitely yes. I probably will first try my existing speakers but wonder if they will over power the room. After speaker set up and chair we are talking about say 10-12 ft btwn the two positions. I was thinking of the Mini Exquisites, Coltranes (same accuton driver+ diamond tweeter approach) or the Magico Minis....all with possibly a subwoofer though that would over power the room as well

I think Wilson Benesch speakers sound great and work well in small or larger rooms. I would look at the ARC or Discovery. Both are ported on the bottom making them work in a boundary situations. In your room I would consider putting them on the long wall giving you space on the sides.

i don't know if $9500 meets your definition of "cost no object," but for that you can own the most magical sounding speakers i have ever heard: the Auditorium 23 Solovox. Based on what you have said are your musical tastes, I highly recommend that you give these a listen. Look for links to reviews on tone imports website. i just ordered a pair to replace my Avantgarde Duo's.

How about something from verity. I have some fidelio encores and they are the best i have had in my small room and could be moved to a larger space in the future. They have a look and feel of the best and incredible natural sound that is very unfatiguing.
