Best speakers for a small room
The Charney Audio Maestro is designed for smallish rooms. An 8” full range single driver designed from the tractrix theory. Can be placed against or near the front wall and corners. Depending on driver and finish they run from $2800-$6500.      ... 
Full range speaker recommendation
If you can find them Snell B, Alll, and Allli will deliver big full range sound and they will fit your budget. Look around they’re out there.  
Large speaker recommendation
If you haven’t made a decision look into the Charney Audio Concerto. A large full range single driver horn that fit your budget and deliver! Full scale engaging sound that bring the artists into your room. I just upgraded to the Companion with Vox...

Looking for small active STEREO speakers I can throw in a carry on bag and travel with
Maybe a couple of Bluetooth speakers? Most are small and by definition are active.  I use a single Rokform G-Rok speaker on the job and golf cart. You can use two from the same source not sure if you can get stereo performance out of them.    h...

Volti Vittora with Sub & Amp Crossover - Thoughts?
I listened to this combo at the 2015 NY Audio Show. They were powered by Vinnie Rossi preamp, phono,and amplifier. I think the vinyl front end was a Plamer TT. They put ZZ Top “La Grange” on the TT and away we went. The sound was loud, impactful a... 
Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music?
The Charney Audio Maestro or Maestro Extreme will work perfectly in your room. Very small footprint that don’t need a stand or have to come far into the room for the best sound. I have listened to the Maestro with both the Lii 8 and Voxativ 1.6 dr... 
Best speakers around $130k?
If I had a large enough room the Charney Audio Lumaca would be my first choice. If the room was smaller the Concerto would be it. Full range single driver horns that  don’t require bass augmentation and minimal room treatments.    http://charneya...

Dual SVS PB-1000 Pro versus Dual Rythmik LV12F- does Servo Technology Matter.
@bladerunner6 Your room is 10' x 12' and you will have placement issues for sure. I would lean towards the SVS SB (sealed box) type of sub, which one depends on your budget and space constraints. Whatever you do decide on though, seriously consid... 
New Transport? / Streamer? / CD Player?
Sparkler Audio has a new CD player the S515 that has digital input and can be used as a dac. You will need to purchase a separate digital inter phase for a usb input if you want to go that route.I'm very pleased with my single box S503, very natur... 
Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty”
@newtoncr I had a conversation with Charney about your issues and he confirmed the problems you've been having. One thing though, according to him your room is 12x20 but the rear wall is open to a much larger room?  So the speaker is actually tryi... 
List your breakthrough products that you’ve discovered on this audiophile Journey.
+1 for the Dspeaker Antimode products. When I had a dual sub system the Antimode 2.0  brought the sound to a whole new level of clarity and coherence. Now I use an Antimode 8033c for my sub in the living room HT set up with exceptional results!
