  1. I view this as sort of a companion thread to the “Best Small Speakers At any Price” thread.

Lets hear what you’ve used and loved!

Thanks in advance.

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.
My amplification will be all Odyssey so it’s interesting you mention the Kismets.@giantsalami
... NEW: Something by Golden Ear (MY EX-FRIEND SWEARS BY THEM) or the KLIPSCH HERSHEY llll; vintage: late 90s or early 2000s Gershman Avant Garde RX-20
"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..."

I have the Cantons also and think they represent great value for the money and I really like their looks also. They have a surprising amount of bass for their size and are detailed without being bright or edgy. Having said that, I prefer the Focal 1008 BE, they’re a little more detailed. I don’t live in an apartment but have used both in a small room.
