The best small bookshelf speaker you ever heard?

For me it's the ATC SCM 12

Amazing micro and macro dynamics, timber, a piano sounds like one etc. They sound very good at ANY level from a whisper to concert level.

For a list of speakers I have owned and know well:

Let me pick two:
AVI Neurton 4
Tyler Taylo Reference Monitor

Celestion SL-700SE. Retail was about $4000 and worth every penny.
