small room speakers


A long time I used Dynaudio Audience 40, I sold them because they didn't matched well with my new LFD Mistral amp.
In mind I have: Linn Katan or Quad 11L ( a lot cheaper ).
I listen very near and don't like over-analytical speakers.
Who has experience with the Katan or 11L, other suggestions
also welcome.

Nogthing can beat LS3/5a as far as price/performance ratio is concerned!

Some who buy it for the first time always invariably think these are very expensive speakers. I can assure you, God forbid if I have to loose my 1978 Chartwell's I would not even bat an eyelid and buy another pair, even brand new if I have to.

For near field listening they are a special treat for any audiophile ears.

Good Luck!
Ecclectique,

Who would in his sane mind would want to trade the Chartwell 15 Ohm version in Rosewood finish, probably few hundred were made and less than a 100 in use!

In 1996 (during economic boom) folks in HongKong were willing to pay $6,400 for a pair, not sure how much it is worth today, Maybe around $2-3000.

My son will inherit it.

Sorry to disappoint ya!
Ecclectique,

Certainly not, what made you think that way?

By the way what I stated are just facts but that means nothing to me.

For me these babies are just priceless.

The more I listen to them the more content I feel, I hope the audiohiles will not kick me out of the community, since, they invariably like to go for a change every now and then. I was also doing the same but now things are slowing down, I am tired of picking up hifi as my back is no longer in same shape it used to be 25 years ago.
