Carolina Audio JTMs. One of the few single driver speakers that shine with solid state. Works exceptionally well in small spaces and close to the wall. Surprising bass. The most natural sounding speaker I have owned. Currently also own Harbeth SHL5s and Audio Note AN-Ks, and still prefer the JTMs. I am using them with Plinius solid state gear and a tubed CDP. They are that good. The Harbeths are smoother and more laid back, but the JTMs are faster, cleaner, more dynamic, and soundstage much, much better.

You sound like a canidate for JM Lab speakers go take a look at them they are very awsome.

My friend and I have just come home from attending CES . He was researching speakers in this price range. After 4 days of listening he and I reached the same conclusion. That is that the new speakers introduced at the show by Acoustic Zen ARE A HOME RUN. They feature a ribbon for high end and a transmission line bass. Robert Lee is well known for his cable designs and has spent two+ years on the development of his new speaker line. Check them out. His cousin has been a furniture maker for many years and provides all enclosures. Wife factor on these is no problem, They look as good as they sound. The sound for the $ is amazing.Great size for a small area. You can contact Paul at his Acoustic Zen web site.
