Great speakers for a small room

The Linn Majik 109 speakers were originally designed for smaller Tokyo appartments. They are front ported. They also received a great revew in Stereophile.

Give Louis at Omega a call (203)847-2800. He will set you up right. Most of his speakers sound great with a kt88 amp.

Find a demo/used NHT Xd system (there are a couple on Audiogon right now), should be ~$2k or a bit less, and since it includes a power amp you can sell your current one for an even lower net cost.

The sound is, in a word, staggering. Unbelievably transparent, unmatchably accurate, and you'll have (subject to the room) dead-flat response down to 25Hz. Reviews had the Xd pegged as a contender punching well above its original $6k price. At $2k, well, I think it becomes a compelling purchase (and in fact I was so compelled myself :-) ).

If you want a more conventional system, the Dynaudio Focus 140 is very nice indeed and list for $2k new. Honestly though, to my ears at least, the Xd is so good that even something as nice as the Dynaudio doesn't come even remotely close.

borrowed a new pair of Harbeth P3esr's this afternoon. Have them until Tuesday. Tiny speakers. They only have 30-40 hours on them but what an amazing sound coming out of these little speakers. Tons of detail and bass (but not the booming of bigger speakers); and vocals very smooth. Sealed cabinet may be just what I am looking for.

I listened to the Harbeth 7ES-3's at the dealer the other day. For a smaller room I could live with these speakers. They had a similar texture as my Avalons. They were very musical and they sounded more "analog" than some others with more analytical tweaters such as the Ushers or Focals.
