Suggestions: Interesting small speakers with flexible placement
Hey guys. Long time member. Proud owner of some Ohm Walsh 2s with Parasound electronics.
i just moved into a new apartment and am looking for speakers for my bedroom. It’s relatively small at 500 square feet. I have some weird considerations that have led me to eliminate a lot of typical choices. Looking for any ideas on speakers that could work!
requirements:
* listening position is the bed, but I’d like wide sweet spot so that I can enjoy them as I dress, which would place me well outside of the typical listening triangle.
* they are going to have to be fairly close to the wall. Probably no more than 6” from the wall to the back of the speaker
* unless they are omnis or something, they will likely have to be in an actual bookcase or on a dresser
* they should look interesting and sculptural
* price range under $3k retail for a pair
will accept any suggestions. I love floor standers but doubt this room can accommodate any. Omni directional or other unusual designs encouraged.
Hi, For my part, i went from a pair of Triangle signature theta to a Focal pair electra 907be used (25ème birthday). The Focal are both even more dynamic, more fluid and soft at the same time, the medium is more transparent, that's what i noticed the most. I like music better with them, more pleasure ! The association with my tubes preamp + V-fet power amp is fabulous !
Friendly.

They are lent to be placed close to walls: on a sideboard, work in a bookshelf or be mounted to the wall. A subwoofer helps but isn’t necessary. As all small bookshelf speaker they needgood pairing (think power, dynamics). review: SON-Blog
