Bookshelf speaker on stand has the same footprint as your floorstander.
So, you didn't really downsize anything. It was always just a lil psychological thang.
Hope that helps.
Downsizing from tower to bookshelf
Moving to smaller home and need thoughts on bookshelf speakers. The new dedicated audio room is 12x14 and I plan to use the same wall/floor treatments I currently have in my 14x20 room.
I don’t live near a big city to go and demo, so I’d like to narrow down at least 3 speakers I can purchase and demo in the new room. I’ll send the others back once I find a winner.
Current equipment is;
VPI Scout with Hana SL
Parasound A21
Vincent SA32 Preamp
Elac PPA2
Dyneaudio Emit 30
My preference is neutral to slightly warm sound with heavy emphasis on holographic soundstage. Price point is maxed at $3,500.
I was never really in love with the Dynaudio Emit 30’s but they did provide the neutral holographic soundstage I like. The only negative with the Dynaudio is they didn’t seem very dynamic or musical.i always felt they were missing something in terms of enjoyment. Maybe stepping up a model would help but I’m open to other brand suggestions.
My initial picks are;
Harbeth P3ESR XD
Revel M126Be
Wharfedale Aura 2
Any other recommendations would be appreciated.

I can only share my own experience, but for a small room I use a pair of ProAc Tablette 10’s paired with an REL T/5i subwoofer. I have them in a spare bedroom and that combination sounds really good. Sometimes I trade out the ProAcs with a pair of Fyne F500SP’s which also sound really good just different. Tablette 10’s and an REL would still keep you under budget. |
I have to agree with @deep_333 here,your room size & the fact that since it’s a dedicated listening room you can set them up properly gives a good 3 way floorstander a huge advantage! |
