very small speakers suitable for wll mounting

Hi guys,

Would like to seek your opinion about a decent pair of very small speakers suitable for wall mounting.

The application is more for background music in the children's room, definitely not hi-end stuff. Having said that, the kids grew up on nursery rhymes played back on a good main system. So, good sound is highly desirable. A nice finish will be a bonus.

I imagine we are looking at unported mini-monitors. Can't seem to find any to match my price range (under $1K). I have heard Spendor's wall mountable HT speakers. They are fanastic sounding but cost more than what I would like to pay for. Don't mind used.

cheers,

Tom

How about the EPOS ELS3? Great little speaker at $296 per pair.

Have you thought about the MMGW speakers from Magnepan. $300 a pair factory direct. They wall mount and swivel. less then an inch thick, sound very nice but you might have to pick up an inexpensive sub as they only go down to 100Hz.
Here is a link for you.

Might be right up your alley.

The Gallo micros or A'diva might be worth checking out. Kids would probably like their looks. They have a new version out which was just positively reviewed on 6moons.

I would recommend Aperion Audio 422's. They can be wall mounted (with Omnimount system), are a sealed enclosure, and only $200/pair! Great for general background music, especially in the playroom. With your budget you can definitely get better, but just thought I'd throw it out there...

How about some speakers designed to be wall mounted.

B&W M-1's - $400/pr

B&W LM1's - $350/pr

Tannoy arena's - $900/pr

Mission elegante E80 satelites - $1000/pr

look under the specs for the E80 systems to see the E80 sats.

All these need to be paired with a sub to get full range sound.

I personally own both the B&W LM1's and M-1's. The m-1's have a bit more treble detail than the LM1's. And, the LM1's have bit more midrange. I use the M-1's in my office system, pair with a sealed DIY 8" sub and monarchy audio se-100 monoblocks, were I do about 90 percent of my listening.
