Small monitors/bookshelves for classical music


I currently own KEF iQ5 floorstanding speakers and ROTEL RB980BX Power Amp. I listen to classical music(Bach, Mahler, Wagner, etc). Though KEF iQ5 lacks deep bass, I am completely fine with that when listening to classical music.

I am seeking to buy a pair of new/used monitors/bookshelf speakers. I want a truly "bookshelf" speaker which can be put on a desk or even a bookshelf. I will not put them on stands. Neither will I pair them with a subwoofer. But I will pair them with this ROTEL RB980BX. ROTEL RB980BX is very powerful, 120W/ch. I can spend below $600.

After doing multiple painful searches online and on this forum, I have several potential speakers/monitors in mind.
PSB Alpha B1
B&W 686 or 685
Paradigm Mini

Try looking ay Tekton Design. They have just what you need at a price that is sane.
Highly reviewed also.
There not hard to resell at all. It's a very desirable speaker.
Eric at Tekton Design is growing in popularity by leaps and bounds. His speakers have put a lot of the ones that have been mentioned here on the 'for sale @ AGon" list.
He also has a 30 day return policy.
I'm not connected in any way to Tekton Design except through ownership of his products.
Have a great day. John JW Audio
