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

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.

Anyone have thoughts on the magico a1 and persona B ?

You might want to pay attention to the room itself. Data are scanty at such a small room size, but you might want to try 7'9" x 11' x 12'11 1/4". That ratio simulates very well at 50 cubic meters, and you only have 31 or so; but who knows?

@smodtactical I am going to do a home trial of the Persona 3F with an Luxman which should soften the top end. I expect this to be too big for my 12x11x9 room but it does not hurt to try the home demo.

I was considering the Magico A3 before I heard the PErsona 3F. I thought the top was better integrated with the Persona and excluded the A3. For that same logic I am not looking at the A1.

As I mentioned before something the size of the TAD ME1 is what will work best in a room my size but I want to try the 3F floorstander just in case it works without DSP.

Focal Kanta 2. For some reason I never auditioned this one. Think I will before I buy the next speaker.

Tipping the scale at just under 80 pounds each, the Kantas are extremely manageable. Only 44 inches tall and slightly more than 12 inches wide, they will be at home in all but the tiniest of rooms. Like any speaker, a little extra room to breathe is always a good thing, but the Kantas deliver excellent results in even our smallest listening room, measuring only 11 x 13 feet. Thanks to one of the two ports being front firing, this speaker is easy to place for optimum coupling to the room.
