High efficient speakers

Since your space is tight, a medium sized Klipsch may work better. Cornwalls are much more compact than LaScalas or Khorns but still extremely efficient and won't mind the rear wall.

sonist

more lively than AN
and a terrific bargain

i would also suggest tonian but i do not think
the bottom would impress you. also very well priced

I have a pair of ste labs avatars that are the best speaker I've ever heard period. They are 110 db efficient, and sound rediculously good. I've never had music and voices sound so real with any other speaker. I heard these at the shop that they're built at and was blown away. I was getting a levinson amp fixed there and just happened to hear them playing in the background and was drawn to them. Long story short I put down a deposit right there because I could not pass them up. These are the kind of speaks that you won't sell or trade for anything. Once you got them you won't even think about upgrading. I love my speakers and they are worth checking out if your in the market for high efficiency speakers that kickbutt. Btw I've had them for a year and a half and still am as happy with them as the day I bought them!

Hi Doggg, could you provide some info on the STE labs? I tried to google them but nothing showed up. Where are they made/sold and what's the price range?
Thanks

I've read some great things about the Emerald physics speakers. Check out the Klipsch Epic CF4's, that are being sold here on Audiogon. Another speaker worth hearing is the Von Sweikert DB-99's.
