New Speakers 1k

alas, I am in the same boat...require small wall mountable speakers due to SAF/space constraints. I don't want anything larger than a Spendor s3/5 (or another ls3/5a type speaker). I have used Linn Tukans in the past with good success but would like something different that works well on the wall. The Gallo Due speakers are attractive but I just cannot believe they will stand the test of time.

Suggestions other than the 3/5? Is the Sonus something that works well on the wall. My amplifier will be a Bryston 2B-LP for the front speakers (60 watts per channel, 8 ohms, 100 @ 4 ohms).

Carl

I can only echo the praise of the Quad "12L" in this and in other threads on this board. The first time I heard them, I bought them! The tight/"punchy" bass will knock your socks off for the size and price ($800.00-$850.00 NEW).Very high spouse approval factor too!

Do yourself a favor and give the little Quads a listen-you won't be disappointed.

FYI: I understand the Yew finish is/has been discontinued, but they plan to offer a bird's eye maple in the near future.

Good hunting!

Again...12L is the one to beat....

If you want monitors under $1000, don't overlook the new Von Schweikert VR1. Nice size, gorgeous exotic veneer finishes, exceptional sound.

JMR has been getting some good feedback as of late and I would definitely check them out if you can.

Another angle is to get a set of Axiom's and change out their XO's if you arte good at DIY.

I wish NEAR still sold speaker's because they are really the best Metal Driver speaker's I have heard and found a set for $1K.

Happy Hunting!
