Can someone help me please?

I recently moved into a small, no tiny studio apartment and need to get new speakers. Room size is 14'wide x 18' long x 9' ceiling...thats everything. I have carpeting and ltwt drapes. I also cannot play too loud (neighbors) I currently have a NAD 7255 rec., and about to get a Cal Audio cl-5 CDP. I was looking at the Axioms(no way to hear them w/o buying), paradigm atoms, b&w 303's, psb alpha. Do any of these sound good at lower volumes or can someone recommend any to checkout? Many thanks!

I had an office about the same size as your apartment. I had B&W CDM1SE's and then Martix 805's later. Those CDM1SE's were fine very airy speakers especially at a low volume. I gather the new CDM 1NT's are even better.

Try Linn Kan, small and very dynamic. If placed right they soundstage great and very realistic. A real pain if you hear them after you bought some more expensive speakers (You can buy them new at about US$ 360.00)
I had the chance to hear them, the B&Ws and the PSBs you mentined and I bought the Kans for my bedroom system without hesitation.

Given your living situation I would look into a good pair of headphones.

Check out any of the smaller Spendor or Harbeth speakers!

There are many choices of great small speakers, and many used speakers. You should be able to get great sound in your new aptmt.
