Small bass reflex speakers

For my piano playing hobby, I use a Kawai VPC-1 MIDI controller combined with a PC running the excellent Pianoteq software. I normally practice using headphones so as not to annoy others, but on occasion, it is nice to play through loudspeakers. Given the way the keyboard is placed in our living room, however, the main speakers of our hifi system are to one side of the keyboard and hence do not project well when you’re sat at the keyboard. For this reason, I had been using a pair of JBL Control One monitors, installed on stands on either side of the keyboard. I was never a fan of the sound of these little speakers, however—they sounded muddy: the bass is boomy rather than crisp, and the treble lacks clarity.
