Best small speaker

hello everybody, i want a small speaker, (for on a stand) like the b&w 805 nautilus. Everybody says it is good, But i can buy a jm lab electra 905.What would you do. I know the 805 aren't bad, but b&w never really convinced me, even not the 800. The only thing that i found good was quad esl (but goes not deep) and an jm-lab, i know jm-lab colors the sound, but i like it.(it was the topmodel of jm-lab)

I mean there are many other good brands, please tell me. The amplifier i have is an nad. But soon i will get an 75w push pull amp (tube) , brand : spark , newprice 2500 euro. (i get it from a friend because the man has 6 amps) so now looking for a very good speaker. I listen to classic, pop;rock, jazz, blues, (i like small arragnements a lot with a beutiful voice.)

thanx guys.

I've recently owned the Quad 12L and Von Schweikert VR-1. Both FANTASTIC at less than 1K. I kept the VR-1 because I like the bigger soundstage, You need a sub with VR, the QUad has more bass. I coul live very happily with either of these!

The Sony SS M7a would impress you more than the B&W 805's. They are a stand mounted speaker with very good sound and a decent soundstage.
See my review if you are interested. I don't use mine anymore, but the review is accurate!
They can be found inexpensively and they are American designed and built.

I always thought that the older Linn Kans were a real nice sounding small speaker. I owned a pair for almost 10 years, and people always remarked about how "big" the sound was for such a small speaker. And they can sit right against the wall, out of the way.

I'd consider the Merlin TSM-M. I have no idea if it's "the best". I sure do think it's great, however.
