Voxativ drivers were mentioned but they also have a complete line of high efficiency speakers..
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!

One of my favorite albums on Avant-garde Colibri C2. Don’t forget to put your headset to fully enjoy these beautiful recording’s. https://youtu.be/39SpUW8QNxo?si=R76uNMIonJtpJwKZ Who knew ARC components can sound this good! |
If you start looking small bookshelf, the Proac Tablette 10 Signatures are stellar. While not ostensibly high-eff, they are incredibly easy to drive with tubes, given their 10 ohm nominal impedance. I put a pair in my 300 sq/ft shop/gym, powered with a 10w EL84 push-pull integrated, and they easily fill the room while sounding remarkably good even on a shelf filled with tools and jars of screws. Now that's a feat! Bass is decent but obviously doesn't go very low. Sealed cab, so they can go near the front wall. I had a pair of Harbeth P3ESR and the Proacs are much better, IMO, and far easier to drive. |
