Check out Merlin TSM and Soundsmith Monarch. Different presentations, but both sound excellent. Never heard Devore Gibbon 3XL but if it were me looking I'd check them out as well.
Best small speakers?
I'm looking for great sound at the best price... spending around 5K, am i going to get better sound and with small monitor speakers like the B&W 805's or Harbeth? I have Paradigm S-8s now... they are big sound alright, but i think if i spent the same money on a great smaller speaker i would get more for my money as far as sound goes... ? I have an above average system, rouge 180 monoblocks, shanata cables, conditioner etc.
