Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers

I'd consider the Buchardt S400's, as they have very good base for a small speaker, and are designed by former Dynaudio engineer, so sound should be comparable to the Special 40.  About half the price, however, and I've been very happy with them.

Dynaudio focus series

110 or 160 tough to beat for the price. I have the 160 now but I think I actually love the 110 sound more - I very much regret trading those!

No offense to the polkies, but the dyns stomp the Polk LSi series in every category - to my ears anyway!

I recently purchased a pair of the Canton 9.2 and am thoroughly impressed by them. I have owned Tekton Impact Monitors, Focal 1008 BE, Philharmonitors, Odyssey Kismets,  Evoke Eddies, and a few more. These Cantons are staying with me...

Though no longer available in the US, I think my Esoteric MG-10s to be excellent. I drive mine with  BEL 1001 MK5 in a small room ~12'x15'. Haven't seen a pair show up used for a while.

JBL LSR305 powered studio monitor. Accurate, huge sweet spot due to wave guide tuneable and for $300 you have speakers that sound as good and better than a lot of consumer audio speakers that I auditioned that were $1000 for a pair.
