Recommendations for speakers in a much smaller listening room.


My wife and I are in the process of buying and moving to a new patio home. We are both pretty excited about it. The only issue is I will have a much smaller listening room. I currently have a room that is 14.5 x 38, basically one half of the basement. The new room will be 12 x 16 with 8' ceilings.(taller than pervious room at 6'8") The question is what is a good speaker for that size room that will not overload the room. I like sound stage, imaging and listenability over analytical and highly detailed. My current speakers are Tyler acoustics Woodmere II and are giant towers. I do some vinyl on a vintage Panasonic DD TT with Ortofon MC1 cart. Mostly streaming with a Lumin T2, Oppo Digital 105 for disks with a Modwright KWH 225i. Thanks for any suggestions, Allen.

Here are some other options to consider, I would recommend at least a small subwoofer with any of them.

Harbeth Compact 7ES-3

KEF Reference 1 (you should be able to find non-meta used within your budget)

PS Audio Aspen

I have the Compact 7s and P3ESR.  The P3ESR are incredible, but they have limits.  If you don't ever listen loud, that's a great option.  The Compact 7s are great and can take some power and keep their composure.
