Can recommend some non-fatigue SMALL bookshelf for near-field listening?


Hi guys,

I have been searching for a pair of small passive speakers for near-field listening for a long long time. Ideally, something with <27 cm depth would be a great fit. A relaxed/non-fatigue/good bass sound would be preferred. 

I tried these.

B&W 607s2 -- currently using -- can be aggressive/bright quite often

Dynaudio Evoke 10 --- pronounced at 2-5 kHz, sounds thin to me.

LS 50 meta ---- bass a bit tide... need some volume to sound good.

 

Can you guys recommend some other speakers that can do the job? What about Mission QX1 MkII or Wharfedale Denton 80? My amp is Nad c275bee with a Schiit freya+ preamp.  Thanks a lot guys!

-Sound Artist makes a LS 3/5a Knockoff  $600 

-Elac unified reference $1,200 

-Dali Minuet -beautiful in looks and sound. $1,600

-Some Fritz models use a Beryllium tweeter so that may not be the nearfield

 experience you want. $3,300.

That said I am buying a pair for my my main listening room. Extreme value.
