good, small speakers

hi folks,

i'm currently looking to replace my ages-old spica sc's. my problem is that i live in a tiny nyc studio, so i need small speakers that aren't so fussy about placement. my current hardware is a linn classik (again, space is serious consideration -- did i mention "tiny studio?").

i loved the old pyramid met 7's; does anyone have experience with the new met 7.7 mk v's? how about the linn katans (the top end of size considerations) or kans? any other suggestions for small speakers which'll work well with the classik? price isn't as much of a consideration as size and forgiving limited placement options.

thanks,

rob

Two speakers that would work very well for you:

AVI Neutron IV-(fabulous speakers, about as small as real hi-fi speakers can get) http://www.avihifi.co.uk/NuNeutron%20Monitors%20/Neutron%20IV.html

Neat Petites-also quite fab.

They are both kind of hard to find, but worth it.

Another option - Snell K.5 Mark IIs are good monitors, and designed for close to walls. About $1200 retail I think. Good luck.

Call Joshua at Ears Nova and talk to him about the Penaudio Charisma/Chara system or the Rebel 2, which can also be mated with the Chara woofer. Reviews available on www.stereotimes.com and www.onhifi.com.

just picked up a pair of totem model 1 signatures mini's and they're terrific. they're small but deliver on the sound bigtime. very transparent, and very detailed. plus, they are actually better being closer to the back wall for bass response. and they look great.
