Shrinking my system


I'm moving to NYC from a gigantic place out West and I need smaller speakers. I've got a VPI Scout II and a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum. I'm going to pack up the Vandersteens, and I'm thinking of going Klipsch. No bigger than 5" bookshelves and a sub. What would you do?

What's your budget? 5" speaker height? Really?
I
think he was referring to max. woofer size.

BTW, I'm *really* serious about that B&W PM1/PV1D combo. It's a stunning
combo with immediacy, room-filling dispersion, lifelike transparency and
transient response, and very natural tonal balance including deep-reaching bass.
The monitors have 5" woofers. The cabinetry is gorgeous too. I really hope you
are able to audition this combo before you buy.

Currently listed are a pair of Tannoy 6.1 monitors for a grand, and a pair of Montana mini monitors for just under a grand. Both sets look to be tube amp friendly with a high impedance and decent efficiency. If you're moving to an apartment, you may want to forgo a sub. Good luck with the move.
Check out the Spendor 3/5's. Years ago I needed a small monitor to replace Vandersteen 3A's , the Spendors are a very similar sounding speaker. As a matter of fact I liked them better!
