Smallest speakers that ROCK

I've found that Paradigm Reference Studio 20's can rock pretty hard and the 40's even moreso... I would imagine the Signature series models would do even better.

I am floored every time this type of question comes up. Some of those others there, and in my opinion especially the Dynaudios, are too polite and smooth for Rock. I find Proacs to excel at Rock, are small and attractive.

When I was auditioning speakers I was very impressed by the rock-ocity of the Dali Ikon 6 speakers. I listened to Ushers, Dynaudios, Vienna Acoustics, B&W's, Sonus Fabers and Maggies.

I have a pair of Paradigm Signature S1's in piano black. I have them hooked up to 220 watts per side RMS. I have Synergistic Research biwire Tesla accelerator speaker wire and a S. R Hologram D and a D3 digital RCA to my DVD player. I have played these as loud as my ears can tolerate sitting about 15 feet away in my 23x18 room. These tiny sealed speakers can handle 110 db very cleanly. I am just amazed. Best I have heard.........bar none.........

NHT Classic 3. Yes, they rock.
