@lalitk your going to have a VERY hard time finding everything on your want list..
The only speakers that come to my mind offering sensitivity that high & half way decent bass are Klipsch & no one would call them good looking or hi end sounding..Speakers like the Audio Note @ 11"/13" wide are not what I consider a small footprint..There is the Devore Micro but limited bass & the Baby has good bass but @ 14.75" wide the footprint isn’t small..
Odeon Germany makes a really nice looking stand mount & small footprint floorstander with decent bass but only a 90/91 db.sensitivity with true 8 ohm load..
PMC Audio also makes some highly regarded stand mounted speakers but again only 90/91 db.efficiency @ 8 ohms...
As mentioned already,they’re are smaller stand mounted speakers from Spendor,Harbeth & ProAc that are an easy 8 ohm load but efficiency is low..
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!

@sameyers1 I see your fairly new here so I'll simply tell you that you really should read the OP's thread starter before commenting..You would have noticed OP is looking for HIGH EFFICIENCY speakers(96db.+)..In a latter reply he added that he would be swapping in & out 2-8 wpc.300B SET amps(should have been mentioned in the original post),eliminating everything pretty much all us repliers recommended.. |
