High end bookshelf speakers for Small room

Get a pair of Meyer Sound monitors (about 8k). Sonically, it does some things that you can't get with a bookshelf in this price bracket. It will beat those TADs, no problem.

I’ve been disappointed with most bookshelf speakers that I’ve owned. I compare everything to sonics of good floor standers. Funny thing is most bookshelf speakers when put on stands, have footprint of floor standers anyway! My small room is about 13x13. I purchased Von Schweikert Endeavour’s. Just amazing. Didn’t pop for auto finish

@tshark ...this very straightforward sentence has been very hard for many audiogoldenears  to comprehend forever (later on, some lil weeny bookshelf on a rickety lil stand will defy all physics and do them some kinda miracle, apparently). The cable and dac can be enormous however.

Those Endeavors are quite good in their own right , though facing some stiff competition these days.

Op we recommend a speaker designed for a small room with limited bass response

Many of the previous recommended loud speakers are excellent but will over load such a small room

@audiotroy , Could you explain how a very tiny room such as your car's cabin just seems to never get "overloaded", while you've been driving all these years?

Also, what is "overloading" and what does a "overloaded" room sound like? Curious to know...(it could shed some great insight on this phenomenon of "overloading" or something else in acoustics, something psychological, etc).

Are there any stand mounted small speakers that you are actually familiar with?

 

Those Endeavors are qu

I am sure that your Def Leppard CDs do sound good played back on those speakers.

Fleff Deppard ain’t my style, but, is this what you’re suggesting? The audiophile beliefs/fad n all...

Dac: washing machine size

Preamp: Fridge size

Power Cable: 6 inch corrugated pipe size

But..................................

Speaker: Rubiks Cube size

Is that the audiophile way? the way of  Matthew?

I’ll pass...

But, forget the Fleff Deppard for a minute and play this on the Rubiks cube sized speaker. You don’t even need a sub. I am sure your full range Rubiks cube speaker will take care of it if you put it on a stand.
