Best Cheap, Small, High Sensitivity Speakers

When I posted a similar inquiry last month, I got some excellent recommendations. In addition to the speakers people have already listed above, I also had recommendations for Proac Tablettes, Krix Equinox, Silverline small monitors (they make several), Coincident Triumph Signatures, JM Reynaud Twins, and Spendor small monitors (they also have a couple of different models).

Gallo Acoustics has just released its new speaker the Due' (prototype name Bravo) using a new version of the famous CDT tweeter from the old ultimate/reference/solo line. The new tweeter is a 180 degree dispersion (not 320 like the original) and the speaker features dual micro balls with UPDATED drivers. I have my first set already on order:) I plan to use them for a small bedroom system with the Antique Sound Lab mini monos, and for suround speakers on my Gallo Reference LCR set-up. They are rated at 93db so power should not be an issue. Price is $500.00 each!

Hi, Sarah. I was one of the people that posted to your thread a few weeks ago, and was wondering where your journey has taken you. Have you auditioned any of the speakers that people recommended, and, if so, what are your thoughts about them? Scott C-

"Does this exist or am I barking up a non existent tree?"
There is trade off in speaker performance. You must sacrifice 1)effeciency, 2)frequency response or 3)cabinet size. The laws of physics demand that you cannot have all three. This is a well settled fact. One fairly clear article on this subject is at trueaudio.com (truaudio.com/1st_trade.htm) I believe that is the correct site (in parens) according to my notes. If not, go to the trueaudio.com site and search the site for an article by John L. Murphy called "Loudspeaker Design Tradeoffs." If you want small, sensitive speaker, you cannot get a low frequency (Big bass) too. I do not care what anybody says and neither should you.
good luck
