Speakers for 2nd System!


Folks, I’m putting together 2nd system in a small room. This room doubles up as home office space.  The dimensions are 12’ D x 11’ W x 8’ H.  

I am open to recommendations for bookshelves or floor standers with a small footprint. I won’t be adding subs due to limited space. High efficiency 96db and above speakers are preferred. 

The system components so far, 

Leben CS600X - 28-32W

Technics SL - 1200M7B with Hana ML

Softone Model 4 Phono

Raysonic CD128 

Cables - Sternklang (ribbon) IC and Speaker with HIJIRI “Nagomi” Power Cords. 

Budget, I would like to stay under $5k but wouldn’t mind going over for something exemplary. Not interested in DIY projects or ugly stuff - aesthetics and high performance are equally important..lol! 

Thank you!

@lalitk I was going to say ATC SCM40. But I am not sure your amplifier has the needed juice. 

@lalitk I heard Feetwood Deville with a flee watt amp (8w) in a large room. While I think they’re ugly as sin, they do sound very good and throw a gigantic soundstage. They pooped while playing Metallica with that amp but did well with acoustic music and jazz. If they’re not too ugly for you, definitely add them to your list.
