I would look at the new ProAcs or the SC1's. All would be a step up from the Hales and smaller in physical size. I have not heard the new Dynaudio 42 series, but that too may be a consideration. The new Meadowlard Swallow is more musical than the Hale, but not as detailed. You will have to make some choices here.
Any small speakers equal in sound to Hales Rev III
I have a pair of Hales Revelation III speakers, which I like, but they are too big, especially when packaged (moving soon). Are there any speakers that are small in stature but of similar sonic quality that are in the approximate price range of the $2100 (new) Hales? Thanks, edh
