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

I've been using wall-mounted NHT SuperZeros and SuperOnes for close to ten years and have enjoyed them greatly.

I think the vintage ADS monitors Rlwainright mentioned would be ultra cool. Another I'd consider are the Gallo Micros.
Have you thought about the MMGW speakers from Magnepan. $300 a pair factory direct. They wall mount and swivel. less then an inch thick, sound very nice but you might have to pick up an inexpensive sub as they only go down to 100Hz.
Here is a link for you.

Might be right up your alley.

The Gallo micros or A'diva might be worth checking out. Kids would probably like their looks. They have a new version out which was just positively reviewed on 6moons.
I would recommend Aperion Audio 422's. They can be wall mounted (with Omnimount system), are a sealed enclosure, and only $200/pair! Great for general background music, especially in the playroom. With your budget you can definitely get better, but just thought I'd throw it out there...
