Small speaker suggestions

Thanks to everybody for all of the suggestions.

I haven't been able to post on here as I have been busy, we lost power for a week from the hurricane. Life happens...

I was able to audition the Arros and they were not a fit for me as I am a bass fan.

I did like the Totem rainmakers however. They seemed to have more bass and do some nice things with timbre, soundstage etc.

I auditioned the Sonus Faber Toy towers which I really liked but were out of my price range.

I heard some Dali and Linn bookshelf speakers.

I listened to the Dynaudio excite 12 but not in optimal conditions.

I listened to the Rega rs5 also not in optimal conditions.

I just purchased the monitor audio rx6. To my ear they offered the best combination of bass, detail soundstage etc. I should have them set up at home in about a week and should be able to hear what they do in my system

I think you made a very good choice. Monitor is a brand that I would have recommended, but given the description in your original post, I thought they may be a bit too revealing. I had the silver 8's, myself. If I remember correctly, the ones I had were replaced by the current line. (The ones you just bought.)

You should like them very much. The speakers are very easy to drive and are not difficult to find a good room placement. More importantly, they have great pacing and are just fun to listen to. If you can, post back on how you like them, once You've had a chance to listen.

After getting a chance to listen to them for a while here are my impressions:

-Truly full range speaker (I didn't realize how much I got used to not hearing the bass and the high frequencies as well
-The full range really makes the soundstage believable and fills up the room
-Detail in all ranges (hearing things I never heard before
-It gets the texture of different instruments correct
-More dynamic
-Space - instruments have their own location within the soundstage

The full range really makes the soundstage believable and fills up the room

exactly,that it what I remember from the past with RS6. Ability to fill the room.I could listen 5m away and enjoy the sound,now to reach the same full sound with dynaudio or harbeth I need listen 2m awy from speakers

Recently picked up some KEF LS50's. Awfully good. Pretty amazing for the size of the box. Lots of technology in these guys.
