cheers


200*130*130. is it mm and outside dimensions? That will give you less than 1,5 liter and nothing near the 3,5 liters mentioned above
 
I honestly don't know what those size figures are in inches, but here's a project with relatively small size compare to other speakers.

A bit low in efficiency but will actually go lower than most other small satellites about the same size. Definitely cheaper than the Jordans as well.
 
Personally I am a big fan of the JX92S. I found their imaging and coherence like nothing I had experienced before, even though I have decent Kef Uni-Q drivers in my usual speakers. The bass from them is also very tuneful.

They can sound a touch bright and if you start cranking them on some female vocals it can get a bit hard sounding, but I think that's just pushing them too far. And you do have to crank them a fair bit to get like that.

It comes down to what your tastes are and what you look for in a speaker. I ignore ratings in magazines especially What Hi-Fi as I have found them largely to be pretty random in what they recommend.
