• They’re the right size but I’d prefer home hifi stuff to studio analytical stuff I reckon. Having said that I’ve never listened to a pair.

  • Reviews seem to reflect what they were designed for; people love 'em but not as a vehicle for pleasurable listening.

  • I couldn't solve the problem myself. The smallest speakers I could stand to live with long term are still much bigger than you currently have. The Q Acoustic 3020i are pretty decent, I have a pair in my kitchen but they're bigger than either of the other 2 you have.

    Maybe some kind of coaxial speaker would be better. I've been meaning to look into them and I know a few people on here have gone a long way in that direction but the boxes seem to end up being big to get the bass response.

    In my partners kitchen we have a couple of Libratone and they make a decent job of it while being compact. They are not high fidelity but still a pleasure.

    I sold 2 pairs of B&O cx 100, they were very nice in a b&o kind of way. The drivers usually need refoaming though.

  • I definitely would be trying a pair of active near-field monitors rather than hi-fi speakers for what you need here.
