What's your favorite small or bookshelf speaker?

Raidho c1.1, dynaudio focus 110

Penaudio Cenya Signatures on matching Coldray stands. The Cenya Signatures are internally wired with Jorma cables & look stunning in natural Karelian birch. In fact i'd love to one day own a pair in a 2nd system with matching Charm active subs driven by Accuphase gear.

Dynaudio Contour 20

Wow, they are beautiful. They are way better looking without that goofy baffle. I also noticed they again flipped the tweeter back to the top. Are they suggesting different height stands because of the new tweeter location?

The white is stunning!

+1 on the Penaudio and the Nola Boxer

Conrad Johnson usually uses Penaudio for their demos at shows.

Joe, what amp are you planning to use for these?
My recommendations prefer a little grunt.

Dynaudio Confidence C1
ATC SCM 20
Graham Audio LS5/9 - classic BBC monitor

Haven't heard them but the Devore Gibbon 3XL have got rave reviews - and they are right there in NYC!

I'm a fan of the Nola Boxer also Joe. I really liked the Nola KO2 when I heard them and they are at the top of my list when I'm ready to upgrade...

I'm hoping to find a perfect match for my Triode 845M amps. I have not gotten around to opening them up yet but want a speaker that I can leave connected and maximize the 211/845 tube goodness.

I'm a Nola fan back from the days when they were Alon and had Lotus Sigs with all Alnico drivers for over 9 years. Amazing speakers.

Give those Gibbons a listen.
They are supposed to be great with tube gear.

 

[Kuoppis]

Harbeth P3ESR, should fit delicate tubes. I enjoy them every time I listen to them.

genelec is well known for high quality studio monitors - but their room speakers (smaller rooms/bookshelf) are very good too:

give them a try if you can.

 

[joeinid]

Anyone hear these? Love the Alnico drivers.

I have heard the Super 6 with an 18wpc integrated made by Sound Quest and really enjoyed what I heard. They look to be a bit better.

 

[Melbguy1]

I also wouldn't mind owning a pair of Devore 0/96's with a lovely Leben CS-600 integrated, RS-30EQ phono pre, resto'd Onkyo T-9090II tuner & Palmer 2.5 tt as a 2nd system. Heck, I might need 3 systems!
