Smaller speakers solution?

[Mikeandvan]

Hello Sounders. I use a Sugden - forgot its name - in my bio - a21 newbie thing - with meridan g08 cd +1210 vinyl, and Wharfedale Lindtons floorstanders. Gonna be moving soon to another flat and don;t want to tannoy the neighbours, aaaah, get it, t-annoy. Anyway, any reccomendations for some small speakers that would still make music decent enough for me but wouldn;t piss off the neighbours so much, will be a flat, so could be downstaris upstairs, fucking sideways, you get the idea. WIsh I could afford a house, fug it, there we go. I still plan on keeping the lintons, but would set up system so the smaller spkrs could be easily brought into use in the evening etc
Ta.

They may not be easy to find in the UK but I can highly recommend the Martin Logan Motion 2i or the larger 4i. They are limited in terms of bass output but the midrange and treble are exceptional, due to the use of a folded ribbon tweeter. Dynamics are excellent and the sound is very lively. I usemine in a bedroom system where the lack of bass is a virtue.

Isn't it really down to the volume that is used? It could be a TV, TV with sound bar, Bose radio......etc etc I have some small Klipsch speakers that can really belt it out, I also have large Klipschs which can do the same. My S-In-Law recently added a "BOOM" bar to his tele which drives me nuts. Could be the way it is set up but everything has bass, music, speech..... The tele is on the party wall of his semi and it must radiate to some extent.

Some people are far more sensitive to this kind of thing and maybe I am one of those. When we were in a semi I waited for them to go out before I used the hifi or used headphones. It's a bit of a minefield IMO.

I imagined those Lintons still sounding pretty good at low volumes, in any case I'd hold off on doing anything until you are installed in your new place. Maybe get some dog's danglies headphones

If you can afford it, then the Harbeth P3ESR are as good as it gets. I have found that if you need to turn the volume down, then just move closer to the speakers. They are phenominal from about 2ft away - spookily good.
