A pair of Omega Super Alnico Monitors (95dB) and a powered sub might be exactly what you are looking for. Omega Super 3 High Output monitors (97.5 dB) might also be a good HE choice.
Speakers for 2nd System!
Folks, I’m putting together 2nd system in a small room. This room doubles up as home office space. The dimensions are 12’ D x 11’ W x 8’ H.
I am open to recommendations for bookshelves or floor standers with a small footprint. I won’t be adding subs due to limited space. High efficiency 96db and above speakers are preferred.
The system components so far,
Leben CS600X - 28-32W
Technics SL - 1200M7B with Hana ML
Softone Model 4 Phono
Raysonic CD128
Cables - Sternklang (ribbon) IC and Speaker with HIJIRI “Nagomi” Power Cords.
Budget, I would like to stay under $5k but wouldn’t mind going over for something exemplary. Not interested in DIY projects or ugly stuff - aesthetics and high performance are equally important..lol!
Thank you!

@lalitk I was going to say ATC SCM40. But I am not sure your amplifier has the needed juice. |
Thanks, Omega is already on my list. Pearl Audio Sibelius And ATC SCM40, while they offer solid engineering and performance, their respective 87dB and 85dB efficiency would make it difficult for my intended purpose. My 2nd system is going to be the ‘test’ system for trying out different tube amps powered by 300B, 2A3 and 211. There are some legendary low-watt amps that I wanted to try for a very long time. |
@lalitk I heard Feetwood Deville with a flee watt amp (8w) in a large room. While I think they’re ugly as sin, they do sound very good and throw a gigantic soundstage. They pooped while playing Metallica with that amp but did well with acoustic music and jazz. If they’re not too ugly for you, definitely add them to your list. |
