Combak - Bravo

vinyldoes, if you were to compare the bravo to another speaker what would it be?

For near wall placement I can't think of anything else that works well.... for off the wall placement and staying in the small size format I like the Opera Callas. Both of these are really natural sounding.

totem arro?

Totem Arro??? I think it's time to narrow down your search.... the Arro doesn't work near a wall... it's a typical ported design. Most speakers need to be away from the wall.
Just go for the Bravo... then you can listen to music and sleep at night....
