Best small speakers?

I'm looking for great sound at the best price... spending around 5K, am i going to get better sound and with small monitor speakers like the B&W 805's or Harbeth? I have Paradigm S-8s now... they are big sound alright, but i think if i spent the same money on a great smaller speaker i would get more for my money as far as sound goes... ? I have an above average system, rouge 180 monoblocks, shanata cables, conditioner etc.

I am a Rogue dealer and Joseph Audio dealer. The Joseph stuff matches up great with your amps. I would take a look at the RM7xl's or the RM22xl's (if you would consider a small/mid size floorstander). Of course, if you want to bump your budget up a bit, the Joseph Pulsars sound incredible with the M-180's.

Dali Minuets are a steal at $1500. Add a sub and done.

I'm in hour 100 (suggested 24 hour break in time) and you'd have to pry the Lipinski 707's from my dead fingers. If you ever get a chance to hear them, try to do so. I'll put them up against any speaker in and/or well over their price range. I just don't want to shut them off. Check out Lipinskisound.com Best of luck.
