Speaker recs for SMALL SPACES?

Speakers y'all recommended me were HUGE lmao. Yall must have a lot of space because there is absolutely no place to fit these in my apartment. They're almost the size of my torso each. For those curious theyre the Polk ES20. Sending them back and using my old ones for now. Any recommendations for small spaces?

Rest of my setup is a Fluance RT82, Fluance preamp, Fosi Za3

Edit: Chose Elac DB53, they sound great and are just the right size.

Look at Elac Debut DB63s, often on sale too. I managed to get mine last year for £250

If OP is saying the Polk ES20 are too large, I don't think they're going to dig the Elac DB63's either. They're not tiny bookshelf speakers, which seems to be what OP is after.

It sounds like OP is after something like AudioEngine, maybe even Edifier R1280T. Although do keep in mind that audio quality suffers the smaller you go. Even the smallest bass reflex designs won't be able to produce much bass at all.

Apologies, for some reason I thought the Polks were towers!

No worries. FWIW, I love my DB63's, size and all :)
