Room too small - any suggestions

Thanks Dan for the detail. I will find a pair and check them out.

Since you stated that this is temporary, what about Apogee Centaur Minors, the smallest of the Apogee ribbon hybrids? You could have fun with these for about $500 or less, and dabble with ribons for a while. Probably less shock than going cold turkey to box speakers from your Vandy's.

Sit CLOSER to the speakers so you are in the direct radiating space, rather then back away from the speakers. I'd put the speakers far from the back wall and sit like 5 ft away. My $0.02

Pops and Charlie, Elizabeth has the answer. It may the reflections that I worry about because of what happens in my larger small room arent a problem for Charlie and wouldnt be for you Pops because you're so so close to the speakers. If that's so, then I certainly agree with Charlie about the Harbeth Compact 7's. They are my main speakers and they do everything I want a speaker to do.

The only problem with the Harbeths is finding a pair to listen to. Where do you live Pops?

I would highly recommend the Dynaudio 1.3 SE. You can find them at around $3,000.00 with stands and they are just an all around top performer. I thought that this was going to be a very analytical trip but the highs that come out of this breadbox sized bird's eye maple block are the best I have ever heard regardless. There are not deep on the low side but I tend to not use my sub when it is a top level recording just to hear how well these play the bass that they have. All right, I was able to reach the ammonia cap and I am back. But I am serious.
