Thank you all for your input. Looks like small is better for my daughter and I am sure she is going to prioritize looks rather than optimal placement for imaging. So now looking at Elac Uni fi Slim, Dynaudio Emit 10, Wharfedale Diamond 12.1, B&W 607 s2 and Kef Q150. Can get the Kef on sale near her at $350 plus grills, Dynaudio at $500 used, B&W at $525 used and Wharfedale at $350 open box. Not sure I like the vinyl covering on the Kefs but I use Sonus Faber so maybe I like nice wood. Some concern that the integrated amp I am giving her may have problems driving the Elac, Dynaudio and B&W at 50 wats/channel into 8 ohms or 80 watts into 4 ohms. Room size is 18 X 12. She was going to go out this weekend to listen to some speakers but was unable due to the blizzard.
Speakers for daughter
I was going to buy powered small speakers for my daughter's first sound system to go with A Project Debut Carbon Evolution but now she seems ok to accept an integrated amplifier from me to power speakers. Thinking about the Elac UNI-FI UB 51 or ELAC Uni-FI Slim B5 U5 after researching similar priced speakers such as the Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2, Paradigm Monitor SE Atom, Wharfedale Diamond 12.1, and Kef 150. I have not listened to any speakers yet at the price point. Any comments?
