Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system?

And if space is really at a premium: ATC on wall speakers: http://atcloudspeakers.co.uk/hi-fi/loudspeakers/hts-on-wall/hts7/

I would get the small harbeths and a Croft amp or used red wine as suggested. On a smaller budget perhaps powered speakers like Adam pros with a good dac streamer like bluesound or oppo. 

Ideal system for a SMALL space is a headphone system ,
With a little careful buying you can get as good, or better, than the average
10K$ system for a thousand bucks .
And 95% of the population can adjust to "phones. After 3-4 weeks they seem normal .
