Bookshelf sized-cost no object

Have a listen to the Dynaudio 1.3SE, Sonus Faber Guanari (sp) Homage and the Krell LAT 2. They are all exceptional small speakers and personally I feel the the 1.3SE is the best value of the bunch but if cost is no object...

Throw in my vote for the Proac 1SC. They were incredible for their size, especially when driven by all tube gear.

Try the ProAc Tablette 2000 Signatures. Same appointments as their 1SC, i.e. same tweeters and mitchell binding posts but with slightly larger woofers and larger premium finished cabinets. Best of all, the price is lower @ $1,700 than the 1SC but who cares, right? A hidden gem.

Whatever speakers you decide on make sure you use good stands. No bookshelf speaker sounds as good as it can without them. As far as what speaker to get I like the Proac 1sc's and Tablette 50 signatures (older model of tabs). Also, the Audio Physic Steps are pretty good.

Also, instead of the Dynaudio Contour 1.3, look at the Dynaudio Confidence 3. Very nice, sounds amazing...cost no object price.
