Downsizing for Blade 2 and hunting for smaller floor standers


I live in apartments and love small , tall, thin, powerful speakers. I went from Dynaudio C2 to Blade 2 and am in absolute love with it. However, this whole thin and tall thing has scratched a new itch of me and I kept wanting to go leaner and smaller. I have thought about Beolab 28 which seems to be going for the extreme and also maybe the LS60, which feels like a downgrade in sound quality. So I wonder if there is something else I should consider to make my speaker smaller without significantly compromise full range sound quality.

Given your preferences I’d give a look to (in no particular order although I think the first four are more visually distinctive)…

Boenicke W11SE
Alta Adam

QLN Prestige 5

Vivid Audio Kaya 45

Joseph Audio Perspective 2

Usher ML-802

Verity Audio Lakme

Vandersteen Quatro CT

Best of luck in your search.

 

 

Take a look at these Silverline Prelude Plus floorstanders. Silverline speakers are very natural and produce 3D imaging and a huge soundstage much like KEF speakers.

But, if you have a bigger budget then Boenicke speakers should absolutely be on your radar.  They need some room to breathe, but if you can give them that their diminutive size will amaze you with their huge, 3D soundstage.
