Hi folks,

I picked up a secondhand Denon 38DAB last night with Boston Acoustic A26s. Ideally i would have liked smaller speakers but they were coming with the deal so hadnt much choice.

Is there anything smaller that would offer simillar performance? I was thinking of say the size of the Monitor Audio Radius HD size that would give decent performance with the Denon?

I could potentially add a small subwoofer if that would help augment smaller speakers

Cheers,
Mick

I also own a pair of BA A26 speakers. I find them to be very good and like them a lot. You could always go for some Dali Zenzor 1's.

i think i'll try and give the a26s a run for a few weeks after christmas and if size is an issue maybe look at replacing them then.  Will i have an issue if they are to close to the wall?
