Hey guys. Please, just help me to pull the trigger. I have a list of the speakers I'd buy. They must to be all small but strong and powerful bookshelves to play House Music.Feel free to suggest another model/brand. I know most of you guys would say I must go for floorstand speakers but I have no space.
Thats the list Im considering:
- PMC DB1i
- Proac Studio 100 or 115 ( maybe a used Response D1)
- Dynaudio Focus 110A
- Spendor SA1
- Harbeth ( any model which is on the same range of the above)
- B&W CM5 or PM1 ( I've heard they are not that good for the type of music I do like but I can consider)
- Dali (I just like so much the Ikon 6 tower so I could get a Ikon 1 or 2.. but maybe they are too big and not as strong as the others. I just considered them because I can get them cheap ).
- Monitor Audio GX100(new gold series)- some people said MA is not the best for that type of music but..
I'd look into a Dynaudio C1. But I don't see how a monitor on a stand is that much smaller than a small footprint floorstander. Anyhow, the C1 is very dynamic with lots of bass. Also, what about a Totem 1 or Mani2?
Without question: Quested. They are active speakers. The model you need is the 2108 (I think). They have an 8" driver with built in amplifier. If you need a hard-thumping monitor, consider nothing else.
To echo peter s's point, unless you are going to actually use the speakers on a bookshelf, floorstanders don't take up any more space. And, if you do use them that way, you must start with a front ported speaker voiced for close wall placement.
