Specific Specs to Recommend a Bookshelf Speaker

Hello.

Looking for recommendations on a bookshelf speaker. Must be either sealed or front-ported and shorter than 13" tall. Budget under $2k a pair (new or used). Music styles range from 50's jazz to 2010's indie. Low end supported by TBI subwoofer (small, musically tight).

Thanks.

How about a pair of quality in-wall speakers. Those are designed to sit flush with the wall. Just a thought.

A pair of cheap NIT super zeros will do better than most,spending more is useless.

Try to audition the ATC SCM7s or SCM11s - they're unbelievable!

I second the in wall choice - you may have to make a suitable box for it, but a in wall is designed for just what you are wanting to do.

If you can find a pair of Jamo D830IW I'd highly recommend it, I designed them for Jamo back in 2001. Not too long ago there was a NOS pair offered here on Aodiogon. We made 500 of them the first go around in 01 and 250 sometime in 05.

Good Listening
