Small footprint speakers


I am curently using an Atma-sphere set-up (MP-3 preamp and M60-Mk2.2 <60+ watt monoblocks> driving Rogers LS3/5a's(B.B.C. monitors) with their AB-1 passive subs. I need a SMALL footprint (width and depth), higher impedence (8 or more ohms) speaker having unpowered bass drivers. I listen primarily to WELL produced (yes, it does exist!) and pressed rock and pop and some jazz. Listening room is medium size very well damped (acoustically dead) and I don't usually listen at "headbanger" levels. What I'm looking for is: more bass (down to 30-35 hertz), better 3-D depth of soundstage, a little more "slam" while still maintaining the increadible sweetness and warmth of the Rogers' mid-range. Thanks!

I would second the choice of Merlin VSM-Millennium with the Atma-Sphere. See a recent post on audioasylum.com of someone who uses VSM-M with the M60. Better yet, get Paul Speltz's Zero autoformers and run the M60 with half of the tubes. See link on Zero, as well as numerous posts on it on the Atma-sphere Owners Group site:
