I think you might like those & you won't need a monster amp to drive them. I'd have snapped them up by now if things had been a little different.

Hamish,another option could be an active version of these-

A mate had a pair years ago,and very good they were too.

Just get some AVI ADM9.1's and be done with it......

Staying with AVI in all seriousness, the little N5's at £400pr are sublime - not as bassy as the lovely little harbeths, but clear and sweet up top and less harsh IMO than many of the little active imported home-studio models.. You could get a little used A60 or creek amp to drive them, or possibly something like the "Fatman" dock, which has just enough power I believe.

Hope the above isn't total nonsense. Worth a look hopefully...

How about those Pro-ject little box thingies? They do amps, dacs, tunas all sorts of stuff about the size of a fag packet and you can get different sleeves for them, look really dinky.

john: there will be frequently 2 of us woring in the studio
chris: jerrys speakers are as good as sold, but you have given me an idea
ali: i think im going to go down the passive route
dave: i cant find any info on avi n5's for some reason?
ralph: i looked at the project amp box a while back, and did seriously considor it, but after reading about it came to the conclusion that a tripath would be a better cheeper option

any more suggestions

**The Vinyl Adventure** · 29-10-2009, 14:01

aaah nvi neutron 5.. tasty looking! good sounding too?

the other option i have concidored are the klipsch R-51 and usher s520 any thoughs on either of these?

**The Vinyl Adventure** · 29-10-2009, 22:06

other option i breifly looked at today were focal chorus 705v .. any thoughts on them or others mentioned?

I have a pair of late prototype N5's (slightly different proportions but same innards and box volume) and they're lovely, if not as full-bodied as the baby Harbeths are. I can vouch for the basic good vibes from them though, although I don't wish to be regarded as an AVI shill as others have been, so I'll say no more about them

You're just going to have to venture out and do some listening i reckon, 'cos the longer this goes on, the more choices you'll be flooded with and the more confused you'll get...

Another vote for the AVI's.Lovely little speaker.A friend had a pair.
