BAT was using a small pair of System Audio speakers (on stands) at CES this year. I thought the sound was pretty impressive driven by one of their new integrated amps. You might want to call BAT for more info on the speakers or check out the web site www.systemaudio.com.

I am using Shamrock Audio Eires with a pair of 30 watt tube monoblocks and couldn't be happier. Very balanced from top to bottom. Extremely well made. I auditioned them against Merlin, Spendor, and Harbeth.. all great speakers...and decided to keep the Eires...check them out and the reviews from soundstage and positive feedback at shamrockaudio.com... they come with a 30 day money back guarantee...perhaps a little more money than the speakers you have listed... but worth it...

these are not minimonitors, but by the time you add a stand, the size isn't much different. Try the Audio Physic Virgo's. One of the best speakers around. If they are to deep (cause they are only 8" wide), take a step down in their line.

I had a single VK60 driving them...you'll love 2. Should be a great match with your other gear.
