very small speakers suitable for wll mounting

Hi guys,

Would like to seek your opinion about a decent pair of very small speakers suitable for wall mounting.

The application is more for background music in the children's room, definitely not hi-end stuff. Having said that, the kids grew up on nursery rhymes played back on a good main system. So, good sound is highly desirable. A nice finish will be a bonus.

I imagine we are looking at unported mini-monitors. Can't seem to find any to match my price range (under $1K). I have heard Spendor's wall mountable HT speakers. They are fanastic sounding but cost more than what I would like to pay for. Don't mind used.

cheers,

Tom

The JBL Control 23s are nice and inexpensive and come with wall mounts. There are larger models also.

LS 3/5 or any derivative thereof (spendor, harbeth).

If you buy used you can later resell for little loss.

Linn's Kans or Tukans are supposed to be very good but I've never heard them.

The original ADS 200/300/400 series are very good speakers and meet your criteria. Polk also makes some nice, small, wall-mountable speakers that don't cost a small fortune. IMHO, LS3/5 are not suitable for this application...

A friend of mine uses LS3/5 in exactly this application, and it is one of the few applications in which I think ls3/5s sound very good. In general I find them overpriced, but for wall mounting their small size and sealed cabinet produces a very clear non-boomy sound.

Perhaps you could elaborate on why they are unsuitable.
