Do yourself a favor and listen to the Audio Physic Spark.Most of the speakers mentioned above I have heard and they are good choices.But for a compact foolrstander they are thin and easy to move for critical listening yet sound fine a foot and a half off the wall as well.A great "Nearfield" speaker (that is pull 'em out in the room closer to your chair for "sessions" and they will really shine).Get excellent reviews like therer biggger brothers the Tempo and Virgo.Audition and my guess is if you can find a used pair and can swing $1500+ you'll buy.
