Do you know of small speakers that sound ''BIG'' ?


I was wondering if anyone has heard of small or monitor speakers that defy perception by sounding larger or bigger than they are ? I have always owned floorstanders and do not have much experience with the smaller fry....for the sake of discussion I would like that we NOT include small floorstanders - just speakers that we would normally use a stand with. Thanks !

Purchased used on Audiogon, the Platinum Audio Solo's are in the $600 range, and definitely qualify as smaller monitor speakers that sound large.
You didn't specify the size of your listening room, but these do quite a job, including providing enough bass quality and extension to provoke a broad grin upon first hearing what this smaller speaker can do.

Hopefully, each of us can be allowed to get the word out when we think something deserves more attention.
Your opinions in various discussions have already helped enlarge the pool of shared experience in a positive way. Keep on posting what comes naturally, which I believe is one of the Audiogon Ten Commandments.

Jaybo, Your comment reminded me of a delightful review of how grocery store olives got their size names, including the ever popular super colossal, and super mammoth. Just be careful one of those doesn't roll off the dinner plate and land in your lap.

I think I missed contributing to the past discussion about big speakers that sound small. The one where the mighty Wilson Audio Grand SLAMM humbled even the miniature Tivoli Table Radio in the competition to portray the smallest image of the famous buzzing bee in Rimsky-Korsakof's "Flight of the Bumble Bee".
