Great Small Speakers w/ high WAF?

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the ProAc Tablette series, especially since you've got ProAc now and seem satisfied with them. The Tablette 8 is a truly tiny speaker that looks pretty good and delivers amazing sound, even into the bass region. My reaction to hearing them was "that's impossible, there *has* to be a sub working too..." but there wasn't!

I haven't heard the Sonus Fabers, but they were sitting right next to the Tablette 8's at my favorite dealer, and the others are right, they are beautiful.

Phil, the LS3/5a sized speakers like the Harbeth HL-P3ES or the little Spendor in a nice wood finish should do. My wife was not happy when I sold my last pair of rosewood P3's, and the buyer's wife was ecstatic.

Only problem is, you have to find 28 inch high speaker stands that your wife will like.

I own both the ProAc Tablette 50 Sigs in ebony and Response 1SCs in rosewood, and I think my departed Concertinos looked much classier than either. I think the Spendors and Harbeths have that nice classic look to them, much in the way speakers in 1960's blended well in a living rooms.

My wife's accepted the Rosewood Spendor Sp3/1p, but would have preferred the smaller S3 if it came in Rosewood.

Hate to point out that a lot of the above speakers/w stands are not much of a change in size. I suggested Totem Ones, I would also like to hear the Tablet 8 as well as the new PMC speakers that are "the worlds smallest transmition lines". Evidently PMC is one manufactuter that really makes transmition line bass loading work.
