Best small/monitor/bookshelf speakers?


I am wanting to update the speakers in my son's bedroom system and the ones at my office (older inexpensive Kef's). Have considered the newer Kef Q15.2, but haven't had the time or distribution in my area to check out all the possibilities..both new and used. What are you favorite speakers in this size range? Thanks for the help!

Soliloquy makes a Sat 5, $600, same construction and drivers as their upscale models, premier veneer finishes, about 6" square and 12" tall. No port, so it's good for shelves and tables. The sound is excellent, and they soundstage like bandits. As mentioned in another thread, the Triangle Titus, about $500, is Sam Tellig's favorite, said to more clear and lively than other speakers. Slightly larger at 8x10x16", and truly outstanding, is the Reynaud Twin Mark II, which just won a speaker shootout in Listener mag, at $745, ossaudio.com, jm-reynaud.com. All of these are seriously good speakers that will elevate you above the $300-400 range. And try some Analysis Plus speaker cable, a bargain at $151, 8' pair. Good luck!
