Need advise regarding small bookshelf monitor


Looking for recommendations on a small bookshelf monitor that is no wider than 8 inches and no taller than 13 inches. They will fit in an entertainment center & be used primarily for classical listening. I ran across EPOS ELS-3's while searching -- I see these are highly regarded/recommended. Any other suggestions or feedback on the EPOS' would be appreciated.

If you mount in a bookshelf or entertainment system - do yourself a favor and install with a picture frame around the baffle and integrate into the walls in a flush mount fashion. If you do not then you will surely face strong edge diffraction issues. (This also means you need a forward facing reflex port in your choice of speaker and to fill any void space around the speaker with acoustic batting)

Alternativley use a wall bracket with a long extendable arm so that you can bring the speaker well forward from the cabinet shelves by a speaker length (even if you only do this for serious listening).
