I've really been enjoying a pair of DeVore Gibbon 3 monitors in a small office room as a 3rd system. Amazing range, very flexible in terms of placement and great sound. The model 3 comes rear ported but can be special ordered as front ported from the factory. In this small system, I am using Eastern Electric tube gear. Very pleasing to listen to! Also, check out Fritz speakers. Great, handmade quality with a tremendous selection for various applications. Fritz will also customize for you, as he did with my handmade subwoofer.
