Best small speakers?

I'm looking for great sound at the best price... spending around 5K, am i going to get better sound and with small monitor speakers like the B&W 805's or Harbeth? I have Paradigm S-8s now... they are big sound alright, but i think if i spent the same money on a great smaller speaker i would get more for my money as far as sound goes... ? I have an above average system, rouge 180 monoblocks, shanata cables, conditioner etc.

Merlin tsm`s. Of course I`m biased because I own these but if you can get a chance to audition these, you might be glad that you did.

If you manage to find a pair of system audio
SAK2 WILL BE THE END OF YOUR SEARCH!
I have been lucky enough to find a used pair in San juan Pr while I am in graduate school!
One of the sweetest sounding speakers I ever listen to!
Coming from Dalis, crescendos, dynaudio I know what I am talking!
Otherwise get a nola boxer pair I compared them with linn accurate 242 I think in NJ the dealer owner could not believe it!
My 2 cents!
Good luck

I bet 50% of Rogue owners mis-spell the name. Rouge!

Holistic Audio H1 speakers. Flexible in placement, great stereo imaging outside the sweetspot, easy to drive, room friendly, decor flexible, satisfying at low volume, great bass punch, great WAF, and so freakin easy to listen to.

Hi Bobmclean,

I just wrote a review for the website hometheaterreview.com that should be published by next week on Bob Smith's, Aether Audio, Spirit-1SE two way stand mount speaker. I have heard many of the other speakers mentioned by other posters and they are quite good, however this new Spirit-1SE is a pretty amazing performer. Take a look at the review when it is published and if your interested shoot me an e-mail.
