RE: Apartment Living. Need Suggestions For Speakers Placed Near Front Wall

Audio Note E, J, K, AZ Three or AX Two - all fit the bill - all are designed for near wall or corners - all are happy with 7 watts per channel.

Priced from $1k - $210k depending on the models. I have owned 4 of the 5 and still own 3 of the 5 and my next speaker will be one of them as well.

As someone who lives in an apartment it's difficult to give up quality but I don't think you give up much with these.

The AN's have live cabinet with an open quick quality that should give much if anything to OB's - the AN's will have significant bass however so the bigger models may be overpowering.

Another nice line is Tannoy Prestige Series - they are not too big and will work in corners as well. But more $$ than ANs and not as easy to drive. These have a nice open clear sound with solid bass and quite nice musically. Not big. While they're floorstanders - they should be put on stands IMO for better results.

Remember though that in a smaller space you don't need piles of power with most speakers.

The AN J/D at $3950 is IMO the speaker to beat at the price but a bit boring looking. I've had mine for 12 years now.
