I use the Harbeth Compact 7ES-II in a small room. Due to traffic flow, I keep them mostly against the wall on 24" stands. Out of laziness, they are often listened to in that position. They sound great even against the wall. (I have a ten foot ceiling.) I could not give a higher recommendation than this world class monitor! (About $2500 US.) Good luck, Charlie.
Need help with a pair of small speakers
I need recommendations for a pair of small standmounts for my guest bedroom. The room is only 10x12x8 and the speakers will have to be virtually flat against the wall. Will be used mostly for vocals, soft jazz, and choral music at low to moderate levels. My particular concern is for accuracy, resolution, microdynamics. Need to keep the cost under $2K. Harbeths have been highly recommended. Other possibilities? Thanks in advance.
