Small monitors for tv/music

Hi everybody

I'm looking for some small used monitors (300-500) for tv/music. They will sit above the tv in a recessed cabinet. I've been thinking about Rega R1s, Dynaudio Audience 42s, Triangles to start. Any opinions?

I know I won't get fulll range sound but descent bass would be nice. Any other ones to think about?

Thanks!

The Regas work very well inside of cabinets. The bass is very decent for speakers of this size.

Make sure to get a front ported speaker if there going in cabinets. The triangles would work, but a full bass is not what they do best.

Maybe consider one of the ZVOX units. I have the 575 and love it. It is powered and has built in sub. 2 inputs. Music sounds really good.

NHT Zero One's are a great starting point. Also a great value in the used market, black or white, your choice.

I use Triangle Cometes on stands for music/movies and the bass is better than expected and enough for my music. They are a little bigger than the Titus and so space would dictate. You can always add a small sub. The Triangle sound is top to bottom coherent and addicting. They are front ported for tight set up and easy to drive. PSBs are mostly rear ported but would also be a good choice.
