Best bookshelf/stand mount speakers


Hello everyone. I tried moving my speakers in the room several times and in different places, but still not able to achieve that "it" that everyone is chasing. Currenlty running a pair of Penaudio Serenades on a VAC PHI Beta integrated amp. All first class equipment (as much as I can afford) and was thinking on switching now to smaller form factor speakers to hopefully better compensate for my room deficiencies. I know that this is a whole different topic, but please stay with me for a minute on this one....
I was looking at the Magico Mini II, Q1s, or TAD Compact. Absolutely glorious sound, but unfortunatelly out of my league...
Can anyone please make a suggestion on something similar size and performance wise?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Lenehan ML1 Reference have been directly compared to the Magico Mini and bested it:

As you can see its much cheaper - but dont let that fool you - it uses hellishly expensive Duelund VSF Copper capacitors way ahead of what even Magico uses.

Disclosure:
I live about 40 minutes from the maker and know him and his product very well having been down there many times checking stuff out and own quite a bit of their gear.

Thanks

Yea don't let Chinese woofers worry you. A lot of people get too caught up in really high end drivers. The fact of the matter is in practice cabinet resonances swamp the possibly lower distortion etc of such drivers.

Thanks
