What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
Goldenear Triton Two+.  Plays flat to 16 Hz.  Smallest speaker I've seen that goes that low.  Two powered oval drivers and 4 passive radiators I believe. 
Starting from scratch, passion for "steals"
Vintage if you like bipolar sound and a deep soundstage but can accept a less defined pinpoint image:  Shop Ebay @ Craigslist for a pair of Mirage M5si speakers.  Make sure the tweeters are not pushed-in and all 4 drivers in each speaker are firin...
