The best speaker for a small room...at any price point.

@perazzi28. I have always liked the Wilson Benesch speakers I have heard in the past. I will try and hear a smaller stand mount in their Geometry series, although they too seem to have few dealers here in Calif.

One other thought, and that is to acquire a pair of stacked Quads...the original versions. To my ears, these speakers are some of the purest transducers in the critical midrange of anything that I have ever heard...not sure if they would work in a small room...and if I can accept their limitations in the other areas of the frequency spectrum.
Anyhow, other thoughts on speakers for this size room is appreciated.

Davey, I had original Quads and moved to the new series, which give another octave top and bottom, but are no more musical. I modded two pairs of 2905's to improve clarity, and could not be happier. Larger, irregular room.

One of my friends has a triple of stacked original Quads, and they sound wonderful in a room of 9x18x29. In fact, the best room I have ever heard.

A follow-up to my earlier recommendation.  I own a pair of Wilson Benesch Vertex (from the Geometry series).  Extremely satisfied.
Cheers and good luck!

There are 3 which are as good, or better, than anything mentioned above at bargain prices!

1.  Wavetouch Audio - Grand Teton or Antero.   Simply superb sound in all respects.  Free home trial.  Best value and possibly best sound.

2.  Proac Response D2.  Also superb in all respects.  And at a bargain price.

3.  Legacy Audio Calibre.  Also superb, but at a price.  Or the Studio HD at a bargain price.

If not these, go with the Gamut RS 3i, but at a ridiculous price.
