I have had to dismantle my setup and move to an open study area, using floorststanders in this space is quite inconvenient. I am looking for bookshelf speakers for near field listening(6-8 feet) that have a combination of high impedance and high sensitivity. A minimum of 5 ohms impedance preferably, but if it dips below 4 ohms it shouldn’t be in the bass frequencies . Sensitivity higher than 87 DB 1w/1m, even 85 DB might be ok since this is meant for near field listening only. Since I want to place them on a desk, I would like them to be on the smaller side, woofer no bigger than 6.5 inches.
Single driver frange speakers are ruled out as are floor standers. I have considered the following speakers:
Quad S2
Tannoy DC6 SE
Spendor classic 3/5 (used)
Revel M16
Revel M106
Fyne F500
Klipsch RP600M
Measurements are one thing, but real world experience would be far more useful. Harbeth P3ESR is way out of budget. Revel M106 is expensive. See how the list narrows, I am willing to go up to 1 L if the pedigree is right. A used Spendor 3/5 is my number 1 choice but unobtanium.
Dear fellow HFV members, please pitch in with your experience to help make a decision.
