Small-ish Speakers That Come Alive At Low Volume


domestic situation requires a smallish (monitor or bookshelf) speaker with most listening being done at low to moderate levels.

hoping to hear some recommendations for speakers that aren't too large and don't need to be played loud to really come alive.

preamp is Aesthetix Calypso; amp is Spectron Musician 3 mk2

many thanks,

The French have it - in addition to the Titus, I suggest the Focal Chorus 805V or 806V, although I don't recall if their ports fire to the front. I also like the Rega RS1 for this application (which, of course, is not French).
Given your budget, I might suggest a few other choices:

Aerial Acoustics 5B
Harbeth HL-P3ES2
Joseph Audio RM7XL
Refernce 3A Dulcet
Spender SA1
I would also look at the PSB Platinum M2 which can be purchased new for about $1200 right now.
