Small speakers for a small room


Currently I use Linn Kan (type 4) speakers with an LFD Mistral amp.
At that time I couldn't afford the Linn Tukan speaker wich was my first choice.
My 3 options for an upgrade:
Linn Katan, Spendor S3/5se and the PMC DB1+.
I listen mainly to classical and jazz in a small room.
I like my Kans but something is telling me there is better.

Neat Petites
AVI Neutrons
Linn Katan or Tukan
All three of these are excellent small room, low level monitors.

I really loved the sound out of the Katans, powered by a Linn integrated amp. I would say they are very strong at this price point.

JM Reynaud Trentes. Work well in small rooms, great with jazz and classical. A bit on the warm side.

ProAc tablette REF 8 are very fine speakers for smaller rooms. Retail around $1200 and have occasionally been seen on Audiogon for around $800. Even better the REF 8 Signature but difficult to find used.

If you like listening at low levels (volume) you'll need something that is clear and open sounding like Merline TSMs or ProAc Response 1SC. My choice would hands down be the Merlins but they also may not be available in Belgium.
