Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker


Title says it all.  High end for a living room - budget under $25k.  Do not really want bookshelf so exploring my options here.

JM Reynaud Cantabile Jubilees are a small floor stander with a narrow baffle.  They are a transmission line speaker with excellent bass, and very good midrange and treble.  You won’t be disappointed with these!

@doni 

have you listened to other JMR speakers up the line like the Abscisse or the Orefeo or Voce Grande?

@aj523 

I own both the Abscisse Jubilee and the Bliss Jubilee.  As you go up the line from the Cantabiles you go from the soft dome tweeter which is in the Bliss, Eutrope and Cantabile to the AMT tweeter.  You also go to taller cabinets with larger drivers and better bass response.  The change in tweeter takes to me the sound from the old school Reynaud sound to a more detailed and neutral presentation.  Nothing wrong in either and I enjoy both but you may favor one over the other.  I have a friend who has owned both the Abscisse Jubilee and the Voce Grande and he preferred the VG which I haven't heard.  He did admit that to him the VG had slightly less bass weight but better imaging. I've owned six pairs of Reynaud's over the last 20+ years. 

I have not listened to JMR's up the line from Cantabiles.  I do, however, have the smaller standmount Bliss Silvers.

Do you want narrow baffle or narrow width? Assuming the latter, you get great sound out of the Spendor A1's.

Height 308mm (12.1 in.)
Width 165mm (6.5 in.)
Depth 186mm (7.3 in.)

You can mount them on stands so that you are not labeled as having bookshelf speakers. 😉

Just amazing sound. Both accurate and an endless pleasure.
