Small monitor- made in the states

I represent Role Audio in the North East (NJ) - The Role Audio FTL. will be what I highly recommend. These takes on speakers like the Magees 1.6 etc - Company Based in North Carolina, Learn more about them. Website link below.

This little folded transmission line bookshelf is amazing,weighs only 4lbs. No subwoofer needed unless subterranean bass is what you want. If sub is needed then, add the Role Audio parent company's subwoofer - The NSM 15EXP. email me for any other concerns Highly recommended.

Second ACI as a great speaker for the money but as stated you will have to buy them used.

I would go for a small Dynaudio.

Check out Fritz speakers. Most definitely a person, although I think he likes Chinese food, if that matters.

Check out Aether Audio (formerly SP Technology)
