Monitors for a bedroom system.......


Hi guys, I always like the great advice I get here. I am setting up a bedroom system for the 30-45 minutes it takes me to fall asleep. I tend to play ambient stuff to help me nod off. Anything with great, deep soundstage, clarity, neutrality? The speakers have to have presence at low volumes. In fact, they only need to play at low volumes. Placement restrictions will force them to sit about 6 inches from the wall. I can spend about $2000 used.
I wasnt thinking when I sold my Nautilus 805's. Any suggestions??

You won't get deep soundstaging with speakers 6" from a wall. Try Louis at Omega speakers for some Fostex single driver - NO whizzer is my strong suggestion. You need tubes with Fostex. These speakers can't play loud and as a result sound very nice at low volumes.
I have Tang-Band W3-871s and W4-1320SB drivers from partsexpress.com. Tang-Band sounds good with solid state. They are made to go up against the wall and need to be near a wall for bass reinforcement. These sound good with my Denon mini-system but you can't buy them. Maybe Louis could make his speaker with Tang-Band instead of Fostex. Another neat feature of the Denon is the sleep function where you can set it to turn off after 10-80 minutes.
