no taller than 12" or deeper than 10".....no wider than 16". These are for a secondary rig so turning a bookie on its side, while not advisable, not a show stopper. Anything out there?

How good a speaker are you looking for, and any budget constraints?I disabled signatures.

This is for a secondary, general listening system. I will have a pair of Polk 5 monitors to move along after I find something.How good a speaker are you looking for, and any budget constraints?

I just checked the Polk site for the size of their bookies
but no information was forthcoming.
I would buy the NHT Superzero 2.1 for a budget system
if you are looking new.Speakers: Polk Lsim, ATC SCM19 v2, NHT SuperzeroSpeaker Cables: DH Labs, Transparent, Wireworld, Canare, Monster: Beer budget, Bose ears -
Maybe a set of RT25i or Signature S15? I can speak for the RT25i. Pleasing signature, and good performer for its size.
Powered monitors of some sort, maybe?
I've been very pleasantly surprised by some of the stuff out there.I disabled signatures. -

I agree that the superzeros are excellent little speakers, but two caveats: 1. they need good power behind them to not sound shrill, and 2. they have to have a sub to not sound very thin. But set up properly, they sound surprisingly good...Living Room 2.2: Usher BE-718 "tiny dancers"; Dual DIY Dayton audio RSS210HF-4 Subs with Dayton SPA-250 amps; Arcam SA30; Musical Fidelity A308; Sony UBP-x1000es

Did you see Rick's Monitor Audios?

The Monitor 4 Peerless is surprisingly good with unbelievable bass for its size with a front port. I just measured mine and they are 14 inches high approximately. But if you are replacing a pair of Monitor 5s they are smaller and I think the Peerless Monitor 4 is a better speaker. Cheap and really easy and inexpensive to upgrade the crossover too.
