Default Most impressive small speakers you've auditioned or used
I like to hear what you guys experienced when it comes to small speakers. Personally, I have not auditioned anything that's "impressive" for it's size. My JmLab Twin 6 BE are very nice but they're nearfield monitors.

I thoroughly enjoy my pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento speakers. In addition, the SF Cremona Auditors I had were excellent.

I've had both of these Sonus Faber speakers also and agree 100% with Dan.

Still have the Guarneri Mementos and still love-em!

+1 aside from the DeCapo another contender is the Totem Mani-2 Signature. Amazing what they can do for the size.
