Late to reading this thread..as usual sorry but looking for some good small cheap bookshelf speakers for my 2nd system. After a particularly depressing experience of listening to some modern beer budget speakers at a well known high street hifi emporium for cheapskates like me and for those of us who can't easily get to hear some JPWs or Royds could the the Doc (and any other users) please say why he/they rate them?
Might encourage me to take a punt on fleabay and do some Doc modding.
I think those Envoy's now weigh a ton as well if memory serves..
Just going to add that the Denon SC-E313's mentioned earlier can be got for very little money and the 'antique' rosewood finish still looks smart. I liked the Denon SC-M50's too, the extra size over the dinky SC-M5's being well worth it IMO. All available for often well under fifty notes.
I never heard the Docs little JPW's as a properly set up stereo pair, but what I did hear, they were lively but in a good way, with that 'tactile' quality that simple speaker systems have in spades.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way...The time has gone, The song is over, Thought I'd something more to say...

Those wee ML-110i speakers are fun sounding things.
