High efficiency monitors for SET amp in small room - budget 2.5k
Since you like the Harbeth sound I doubt you would go wrong with the Harbeth P3ESR! A sealed 2 way is perfect for a small room like yours! https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=harbeth+p3esr+review&view=detail&mid=5D7EB69CCEBBAAE793... |
like nyaudio98 said Ref3A de Capos. if you dont like the newer finish look for the model I. wood veneer. run it with a 4 at decware loud enough in a 12 x 20 room |
I had the Emerald Physics from two to three feet from the wall. Much less critical then the Maggies. I found the more distance between the speakers ( putting them closer to the side wall ) the better. I had them 6 inches from the side. The speakers totally disappear and sound great. You probably also can find some great deals on the Emerald Physics . I ordered the Spatial M 5's because of the size of my room and the simplicity of the design. Do not let anyone tell you OB's don't make bass, they make the sound of bass better then anything I ever heard. |
Update: I ended up with a pair of customshop Omega Super Alcino Monitors XRS. What they do well, I have never heard another speaker do better. It's a trade off, of course, as the single driver design does have limitations of its own. I won't go into more detail here unless others are interested, as there are plenty of write ups on Omega here and on other forums. |
