Small speaker suggestions

You might consider the Silverline Prelude. Small footprint, full sound and easy to drive. Should be able to find a used pair for $700.00 or so.

I've owned the ARROs - yes; fine speakers with the "right" hardware and cables.
I've also owned REGAs: terrific with "most" kit" and very foregiving vis-a-vis cables and supporting kit.
REGA R1s/R3s (now RS1 and RS3) are within your budget: they perform way above their weight class. Check out the AGON threads on these: well worth the audition.

My first listening session with the Arros was short and with music that I was unfamiliar with so I want to give them another shot.

I plan on going to this dealer next weekend. They also carry Rega, Sonus Faber, Vandersteen etc. I will definitely have to give the Rega's a listen.

I looked up Silverline's website but do not see anywhere that links to a dealer so I could go listen. They do look attractive and very small. How do they perform with bass response?

Thanks for the suggestions and continued suggestions.

Another strong vote in favor of the Rega RS1 and RS3.

If you lucky to find them.
