Best Small Speaker System You've ever Heard


I'm learning so much from the "best speaker thread". I'd like to understand what the best small speaker system is that you've ever heard is.

I'll start:

JMlabs Micro Utopia BE driven by Manley 300B push pull mono-blocs; cabled with Nordost Valhalla

source was a TNT HRX with the heavy platter option and w/dynavector cart (not sure which one but around $4K)
through a Herron phono and pre amp

The 'little' system with the little speakers has a sweet treble that goes on for ever, flat frequency response, can be real punchy when they need to be, tonally very good (not Quad ESL 57 but very good), reproduces all genre except large orchestra

What makes it work in my opinion is the amps, cable, speaker synergy in this case.

Anyways wuod love the read about some best small speakers you have all heard.

My favorite compact system is as follows:
Dynaudio Special 25 Speakers on Dynaudio stands filled with shot.

Ayre AX-7 integrated amplifier.

Ayre CX-7 CD player.

All wired with Nordost Heimdall speaker and interconnects.

Incredible sound quality, and can easily hold it's own against much larger and more expensive systems.
