Bookshelf speakers for apartment...

batee · 28th August 2004, 03:41 AM

My apartment is really small. I don't need anything loud, just something better than the crapweasel home theater packages I see in Crutchfield and BestBuy.

10+ years ago, I had a set of Infinity Kappa 5s (or were they 6's) that I liked very much. They were a 2-way sealed box, really nice oak cabinets. 5-6" plus an Emit ribbon tweet.

Is there anything on the market comparable to these? Or just a nice bookshelf or slightly larger speaker? I'd love to DIY them, but don't have the time. My budget is about $300-$500.

Thanks,

Bryan

Though I can't say how similar these sound some really good contenders would surely be:

PSB 2B
Axiom M22Ti
Ascend Acoustics CBM-170
Paradigm Reference Studio 20 (used)
B&W 603
Totem Mite
