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.

S23chang:

Even if the De Capo works 'better' in your experience with SET's, it does not follow that it "will not work well with your 75W tube amp."

On the contrary, it will, in my experience, work beautifully with more power, as I discussed in my first post. Depending on fildh@gmx.net's listening habits and room size, he would likely run out of steam on his classical/orchestral music, pop and rock. He doesn't appear to be considering an SET anyway.

Sorry to get all semantic. I can only respond to what's in the post.

Cyounkman, once you hear De Capo with Jadis SE-300B then you'll know what the diffence it make compared to Hi power tube amp. The music is much livelier with the nice soft tone. This makes the high power amp sounded muddy and less transparent.

I've recently owned the Quad 12L and Von Schweikert VR-1. Both FANTASTIC at less than 1K. I kept the VR-1 because I like the bigger soundstage, You need a sub with VR, the QUad has more bass. I coul live very happily with either of these!

The Sony SS M7a would impress you more than the B&W 805's. They are a stand mounted speaker with very good sound and a decent soundstage.
See my review if you are interested. I don't use mine anymore, but the review is accurate!
They can be found inexpensively and they are American designed and built.
