What Do You Think?

ESL's like space as well, dipoles like the Maggies'...and most like subwoofers if you're into bass in your tunes...*S*

How big of a room?  Matching your speakers to the space can make a big difference in the 'enjoy factor'. ;)

You might consider ribbons, if space is an issue...

Nobody around here seems to consider these an item for a smaller space....

...and they're rarely seen 'for sale by owner'.  'One & Done', I guess.

...but I’m a ribbon fan...among other things....

+1 dougsat. If I wanted to dip my toe into the planer pond I would go with the Magnepan LRSs at $605/pair.

@asvjerry, My listening room is 14’ x 19’, short ceiling (around 7’) and currently filled with furniture.  I also have a 65” tv mounted on wall, so I have to accommodate that.  I have a somewhat larger room, but it’s right off the front door and I didn’t want anyone coming to the door to see my equipment, for security reasons.  I bought a pair of Martin Logan 60XT’s in January, when I first got into audiophile-type equipment.  The room is carpet over concrete and the speakers sit on spikes and are not the easiest to move around.  I like the idea of ribbon panel speakers that are easy to move out into the room for listening and back against the wall for space.  But I like the ML’s too.
