Can NOLA's "Boxer" compete with big floorstanders?


I am probably going to have to sell a large floorstander speaker which is very good, and replace it with a smaller speaker. I have considered Totem Hawks and Forests which are too expensive even used; also, Ohm Acoustics M-1000; NOLA "Boxer"; the Sonist Recital 3. and Martin Logan ESL-Electro Motion hybrids.

I like the Hawks, Ohms, the NOLA "Boxer" and the Logans; I am sure there are other monitor or small floorstanders out there that can complete with many expensive floorstanders, but I do not have access to much speaker variety in the Hawaii high-end audio market.

Therefore, would appreciate input on all or even some of the above speakers, especially the NOLA, Martin Logans, and Totem Hawks.....the Ohm-Walsh Omni's are good and satisfying to listen to, but have only fair to moderate imaging and and average accuracy..... Thank you

Off your list I've only spent some good listen time with the Nola Boxers and the Hawks/Forrest. I liked both the Hawks/Forrest - decent sounding speakers and ceratinly fine for many people.

The Nola Boxers made a much greater impression on me and I feel compete with speakers costing much more than they sell for. If your a Bass freak, you will need a sub but otherwise, these are real charmers and I highly recommend you seek out your own audition.
