Thank you, @dwest1023 The DALI’s are a touch smaller and that is a plus in this setting. I have DALI Epicon 6s in my main system and love them; so that is one reason I thought of the Menuet SEs. But a friend has a big pair of Harbeth’s — not sure which model — and they sound awesome in his set up, but he’s all vinyl and i am 100% streaming.
Small compact 2-way speakers? Harbeth p3esr xd vs DALI Menuet SE ?
I am considering upgrading the speakers in a bedroom. Only used for casual listening, usually in the early morning and then nighttime before bed. Currently have a perfectly fine 20 year old pair of ELAC “Elegant” 312s, which i quite like, but feel that newer technology and maybe better engineering would give me more depth in the mid-range and maybe even a touch more naturalness in the upper frequencies. (The bass from the tiny 312s is pretty impressive.)
I’d be very interested if anybody has compared the Harbeth P3ES-2s to the DALI Menuet SEs. They are both only a bit bigger than my ELACs, and I would like not to go any bigger than that.
Amp is the NAD M10 v2 (integrated streamer/DAC). So whatever speakers I would consider have to play nicely with nCore Class D. The speakers would sit on a built solid wood dresser, about 14” from the wall in back. (No room for stands.) But I probably would put them on some sort of isolator pads. The room is about 14” x 12”.
Any thoughts, reactions and advice, very much appreciated!
