good, small speakers


hi folks,

i'm currently looking to replace my ages-old spica sc's. my problem is that i live in a tiny nyc studio, so i need small speakers that aren't so fussy about placement. my current hardware is a linn classik (again, space is serious consideration -- did i mention "tiny studio?").

i loved the old pyramid met 7's; does anyone have experience with the new met 7.7 mk v's? how about the linn katans (the top end of size considerations) or kans? any other suggestions for small speakers which'll work well with the classik? price isn't as much of a consideration as size and forgiving limited placement options.

thanks,

rob

I'd try to find a pair of used Tukans. I've never run mine through a Classik, but understand that they are a great match. I've gone through a lot of monitors (including Gershman X-1s and Merlin TSM-Ms), but have always held onto my Tukans. I'm using a pair now in a bedroom system with a tiny little Totem dreamcatcher sub (a very space efficient solution that sounds great). The Tukans are designed for placement close to wall. Another option would be the Totem Arros (if you're interested in floorstanders). Its a great little speaker that does well against a wall (I have a pair of those as well...) Good luck.
