Don't own the Harbeth 7ES-II but they're supposed to be great if you can stretch your budget. Agree with previous posters on the Spendor S3/5s (which I own), which beat the classic LS3/5s (own 2 pairs). Excellant for the type of music you play, and sound good a low levels where many speakers fail.
Need help with a pair of small speakers
I need recommendations for a pair of small standmounts for my guest bedroom. The room is only 10x12x8 and the speakers will have to be virtually flat against the wall. Will be used mostly for vocals, soft jazz, and choral music at low to moderate levels. My particular concern is for accuracy, resolution, microdynamics. Need to keep the cost under $2K. Harbeths have been highly recommended. Other possibilities? Thanks in advance.
