Recommendations for speakers happy against the rear wall / on a bookshelf

[Blainetoner]

Hi All,


My friend is looking to put together a system, but has a small living room and kids, so is not able to bring the speakers out into the room. We therefore need to look for a bookshelf speaker that is ok when there is not a lot of space behind it, or even sat on shelf.

He has his heart set on a 2nd hand Naim Uniti Atom (what I have), so the speakers would need to be 89+ in sensitivity........this was a mistake I made when I paired it with non meta KEF LS50s........addition of a power amp sorted me out.

Budget wise, it would be 3-400 2nd hand. maybe push that a little ;-)

Any recoomendations??

Thanks in advance

Ben

I was recently in the same predicament and purchased Dali Oberon 1s for a compromised listening position. Would recommend and am happy.

That said, Neat partners well with Naim, and could be in that price range second hand. If you could get some Neat Iotas, that would be my recommendation.

Neat Motive 3 would be a good option if you can find some within budget. They desperately need boundary reinforcement, but sound excellent when they get it.

Oberon 1s are a great suggestion.

Although both speakers suggested are good they are not 89dB+ and you will struggle to find a small bookshelf speaker that is....
