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,
Scott

thanks Mapman and Celtic66... i'll check into those. should also mention that the speakers are going to have to be relatively close to the rear wall, so rear ported would not be my first choice.

i know that a.gallo uses spectron amps to show his speakers, so am also interested in the Strada, as it's the new ref 3.5 minus the large driver. not too much on a'gon about them yet.

i've got a JLAudio sub that i can use to augment bass, so full range isn't an absolute requirement.
