Frankly, I have no idea what the "best small speaker made" is or even should be. As far as the Spendor's, yes, there very good. Open, transparent midrange, extended clean treble, better bass than you might think. If you like vocals, chamber music, acoustic, ect., they rule. If you like rock or want to listen loud, look elsewhere. One thing I've noticed about the Spendors that I've not heard in other speakers is HOW they get louder. It's weird. They seem to just become more there as you crank it up as oppossed to getting "louder" per say. I think its due to how clean the mid-range is. In this aspect, the Spendor is unique. [at least in my experiance] What I'm not getting with the Spendor's is bottom end presence. It's just not there. They go low enough to enjoy music without the need for a subwoofer but they don't provide a convincing foundation to the music. For instance, I'm very fond of Paradigm speakers. I've owned servral models over the years. Paradigm's give you ample, clean, tight bottom end. In every other area, the S3/5's smoke my studio 40's. And yes, the Studio 40's are very, very good speakers. Their also too big for my bedroom system. I'm wondering if the ProAc's would have the open, clear mid's and high's of the Spendor's with the bass response of the Paradigms and a size somewhere inbetween? I've also owned a couple pairs of Totem's over the years and beleive them to be exceptional speakers. Full range sound, little stand mount size, thats what I want.
