Bookshelf Kit - compete with P3ESR XD

[Benno1988]

Hi,

I have a set of Harbeth P3ESR XD on my desk. I do like them a lot.

I feel like building something, and thought a pair of bookshelf speakers that are up around that level (or beyond) and maybe offer a different flavour. Then I can rotate the two sets and keep things interesting.

So only real constraints would be;

• Not large bookshelfs, P3ESR are quite small, bigger fine, but not 350mm deep, 400mm high sort of big
• Good nearfield performance (desktop, will be using DIRAC though)
• Front ported or sealed probably best

I have a sub so they don't need to dig too deep, sub and crossover all handled by a NAD M10 V2 on my desk.

Thanks for suggestions! Do appreciate it.

Would love a build with a Purifi woofer, but not a lot around so isn't a must.

Anything with the ScanSpeak Revelators is of interest too
