Shrinking my system

I'm moving to NYC from a gigantic place out West and I need smaller speakers. I've got a VPI Scout II and a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum. I'm going to pack up the Vandersteens, and I'm thinking of going Klipsch. No bigger than 5" bookshelves and a sub. What would you do?

I would consider Nola Boxers or Merlin TSMs.
You won't be playing very loud music. If you want to play it loudly you may want to try some really good headphones if you can tolerate them. The headphone amp and transducer technology is getting really good these days.

KEF LS50's, plus a pair of small, fast powered subs to fill out the 35-60Hz bottom.

Or the B&W PM1 monitors supplemented by their PV1D subwoofer. I've heard this combination and it is a winner in sound quality, conveying the sense of music, while being compact yet elegant in appearance.

check out devore speakers. Made in Brooklyn. Some are designed with small living spaces in mind.

Fritz Carrera 5" (you won't need a sub)

Maybe Ref 2A driven by a VAC integrated?
