Which small but great monitors?


I want to upgrade my small HT system in my bedroom, where I currently have Boston Acoustics VRM 60's and VRM-C for front and center speakers. The size of these speakers is right, smallish but not micro-monitors, but the sound for music or FM is not up to my standards (I use Proac Response 1SC's and Genesis 500's in other systems). I am considering upgrading to Coincident Triumphs, Spendor 3/1's, Soliloquy 5.0's, or ?? The size of the speakers I've listed is perfect for the Sound Anchor stands I already have (8" x 11" minimum footprint, height not crucial). And the price of these is around the $1000 mark for a pair. I know I love the Spendor sound because years ago I had BC-3's. I've never heard a small Spendor, though. I've heard great things about Coincident and think the cabinet work is beautiful. Has anybody heard any of these options against one another, or solo? Any recommendations focusing on audio performance rather than TV sound are welcome and will help me figure out where to go. I can listen to the Soliloquies and the Spendors at one dealer's, but can't find Coincidents around here (Wash. DC). Also--any other recommendations in this size and price range (around $1000-1200 for a pair)?

Second the SdCampbell recco's of Krix Equinox (AMAZING SPEAKER, HIGH SENSITIVITY), Reynaud (awesome speaker as well, just make sure to break it in right!), and Triangle Commete (best speaker I've ever heard for the price...period). For a little more money, look at the upper end Neat monitors as well, and if you ever want to upgrade them, you can add the Gravitas subs, which double as stands (very cool stuff). Cheers!
Try the Sound Dynamics 300Ti if you can find a pair. I use them in a second system with some first class components with excellent results.
The Soliloquy 5.0s are a great choice and a great value, but my experience with them is that they need room to breathe to be at their best, so in a bedroom system they may not be optimal. But by all means worth a try.

If it were me I'd also look at Silverline and Triangle monitors. Obviously the Triangles would save you some cash. Best of luck.

Try the silverlines. I have a pair of the SR17s and am delighted with them. I have also heard the soliloquys and like them also. You can get some excellent used deals on totem ones in the classifieds. What a delightful dilemma to be in!
Sonus Faber Electors. (not ElectorAmators) These are very small bookshelf speakers maybe 12 to 15 inches tall. They retail for $3500 but I have seen them used for around $1500. Not only are the wallnut cabinets simply gorgous but this is the best speaker I ever heard in this price range regardless of size. After countless auditions of other speakers I happily bought these.

These were my very first high end speaker and although I upgraded far above them I miss their sweet sound and always regret that I traded them in. I have considered many times building a second system just for an excuse to own them again. They also went very low for there size and have unbeleavable mid range and treble.
