THE BEST SMALL SPEAKERS

In Decenber issue if TAS, John Marks nominated "SuperElf" by Shahinian Audio ($750 factory direct) for the Golden Ear Award and for the good reason best MUSICALLY sound pair of small speaker I heard. if you can afford Compass ($1,500) you will have extended bass as well

Consider Snell Qbx 20's. Price around $800. These have been out about a year and half now - not widely distributed nor reviewed -- but a very good speaker. All the usual superlatives apply. Find a pair and listen for yourself!

The Castle Richmond's are nice little speakers. Not very pricey, not very big but quite full bodied and smooth. You could do a LOT worse for a LOT more money. Sean >

Proac Tablette 50 signatures. Very nice.

Castle Richmonds are an excellent choice. I picked up a lightly used demo pair in a real wood veneer for $320. I use them with my Linn Classik. We "blind tested" them against a pair of Linn Katans @ $900 a pair and they sounded every bit as rich.
