The Eggleston Isabels ($2900 plus $500 for matching stand) are quite amazing for their size, and are very attractive. The Eggleston Fontaines are a bit bigger, but have lower stands, so they take up the same amount of room. They are even better, but now the bill is $4900 plus stands. Not cheap, and need about 100 watts per side, but you will be impressed what they can do for their size.
Is it worth it?
I'll make this as brief as I can. I have a 15K front end, Audio Research, Theta, VPI etc. Retired to a small house, gave up my Von Schweikert 4.5s and listening room as part of the compromise my wife and I made. My room now is so small I need a monitor to try to get something I can live with with the quality of sound I'm use to. Nothing in this small town to hear, so can anyone suggest an alternative small speaker with state of the art sound? Envolving yet revealing. Thinking of Revel, Tyler, Totem but don't want to spend that kind of money if a lower cost speaker would come close, don't forget the room is the limiting factor. Help, before I throw in the towel!
