Best bookcase speakers for classical music

For a nice bookshelf monitor, I suggest giving the Meadowlark Vireos a try. I recently tried them in my office after trying the B&Ws, Proacs, and Paradigms and am now waiting for the Ash finished pair I ordered to come in. My local store is kind enough to let me use the store demos (in a different finish) until they come in. I am spending more time in my office (happily) than ever lately because of the Vireos. Best Regards, Aaron

Reynaud Twins and Trentes are two models to look at (I own the Twins). Harbeth owner's would certainly recommed the Compact 7's. Both are considered to be super for your musical preferences. All of these models need to be stand mounted (not placed on book shelves) and if you do not intend on using stands then other speakers would be in order such as those by Castle Acoustics and Linn as they will perform better under these circumstances. If you can swing the space and don't mind a couple of attractive "room dividers" standing around you may want to also investigate Magnapan speakers. It would help if you would describe your listening room (it's size, etc.) and where the speakers can be placed as this is half the battle that most of us face.

I agree with Budrew, the little Soliloquys are fantastic monitors.

Rogers LS3/5As would seem at least a consideration.
