In Reply to: Apartment Living. Need Suggestions For Speakers Placed Near Front Wall posted by Mister Pig on September 28, 2015 at 12:04:23:
I have only lived in an apartment, and gone through a few speakers trying to find one that works.
I wound up with Klein and Hummel O300's (subsequently bought by Sennheiser and under the Neumann moniker now). Their current equivalent is the Neumann KH310.
Professional monitoring/mastering speakers are designed for your size of space and placement. They have the added benefit of targeting a different audience than the home audio crowd, resulting in incredible bang for your buck pricing compared to home audio.
If you move to powered monitors, you are getting amplification that is designed to work directly with the speaker. At audio shows, I have asked several of the most respected home audio speaker designers if they would prefer to make an active design, and all of them have answered that they would love to design an active speaker and could deliver a better product doing so, but since high end home audio consumers do not have an interest in powered speakers, they cannot build one.
There are passive professional monitors designed for your use case that you might consider if making the transition to powered monitors would be too disruptive. ATC, JBL, PMC, and Amphion come to mind.
The passive KEF LS50 is quite nice, and worth considering as well.
Good luck with the transition, I am certain you will be able to find something that you enjoy.
