small speakers for small room

I haven't heard many small speakers...but I own Silverline Minuets and really enjoy listening to them

ATC pro studio monitors. Great with any and all genres, and will run circles over most speakers. If you want a consumer electronics offering, KEF and Paradigm over nice monitors.

thanks for your advice indeed!
i guess my subject should be changed to desktop speakers for very room, LOL

I've done a lot of playing around with small speakers in the last couple of years, because my wife insisted on having an entertainment center, which limited my speaker choices to those under 13" tall and they were being place on shelves.

I've had good luck with System Audio SA-505s, Peachtree D5s, B&W 685s (tight squeeze for me), and Minuets. In the end, I settled on Paradigm Studio 10s. They were all good. It came down to more of a matter of taste for me.

I didn't look into anything by Harbeth or Spendor because I couldn't justify the expense for the application.

Ok before I said my was 10x8. Much more like 8x8.

check out the system audio web page and check out the Mantra 10. Check out the specs

dimensions (WxHxD) cm: 14.5 x 38 x 26
recommended amplifier: min. 50 Watts
recommended placement: by wall, on shelf, in bookcase, on speaker stand
design principle: 2 way bass reflex

They sound good close to the wall. The are only 14.5 wide. You get two drivers. They also sound awesome at low volume and high volume given space. If you ever expect to move the speakers out of the small room I would get something that could move to a bigger room and more powerful amp in the future.

They might be to long for you but may give a look.

Those Silverline are said to be great. I wish I could hear then. If this is second system or will always be in a smaller room I would seek the out silverline after looking at what people say about them on the gon.
