Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers

I own a pair of Fritz Carrera 7be's and they are a pleasure. Scanspeak Revelator woofer and Transducer Labs pure beryllium tweeter. Very detailed throughout and go down to the mid 30's. First order series crossovers. Very well built. I find no need for a sub with these guys.

I would check out the Monitor Audio Platinum 100s.  Tons of detail and good for rock and metal music.  Good bass response as well with a rating of +/- 6 dB at 40hz.  They need to be driven by a neutral to slightly forward amplifier.  

There are four dealers in AZ.  Give them a call and see if they have them on display.  

@thecarpathianInteresting. I will look at those

@verdantaudio I have seen those mentioned but I guess I never really look at them. I'll look deeper.

@glennewdick No interest in anything Audio Note. But thank you.

I@audiokinesis “sort of” got to hear the prototype. It did a lot things well but there was some issue with the woofers. I didn’t get to experience what I was most curious about which was the bass.

that said, people seem to love OB, the price is doable and I’ve been routinely told they play dynamic at low volume, don’t radiate sound in all directions and are good for room filling sound as long as I understand they don’t pressurize a room. I’ve tried to reach out to any locals to see if I could play a few tracks and see what I get from it.
