Best small speaker

hello everybody, i want a small speaker, (for on a stand) like the b&w 805 nautilus. Everybody says it is good, But i can buy a jm lab electra 905.What would you do. I know the 805 aren't bad, but b&w never really convinced me, even not the 800. The only thing that i found good was quad esl (but goes not deep) and an jm-lab, i know jm-lab colors the sound, but i like it.(it was the topmodel of jm-lab)

I mean there are many other good brands, please tell me. The amplifier i have is an nad. But soon i will get an 75w push pull amp (tube) , brand : spark , newprice 2500 euro. (i get it from a friend because the man has 6 amps) so now looking for a very good speaker. I listen to classic, pop;rock, jazz, blues, (i like small arragnements a lot with a beutiful voice.)

thanx guys.

Actually, a parliamentary point of procedure to go with my last post:

S23chang: Is your comment that De Capos wouldn't work with a 75 watt tube amp based on experience or intuition?

Of course everyone's entitled to their opinion. But I find it dangerous to make projections about equipment I haven't used.

Thanks.

I never say it won't work. Please re-read my previous post
I'm saying better to drive it with SET because it works "better" based on experience.

If you have a chance, you should give the Proac Response 2 (original version, not 2s) a listen. The original version Response 2 is front ported which makes room placement less subjective opposed to the 2s which is back ported. They are used in several AA and Positive-feedback mag. reviewer's systems. I have a pair and just love how they sound with tubes. They are a little bigger than the 1SC and give better bass response, but require really good stands to sound best (preferably the Target R2 stands). Should be priced about the same as the 1SC.

A surprisingly full sound, nicely balanced from highs to lows with a nice smooth midrange. The imaging is superb and the cabinetry is finished in a beautiful piano finish.
