My opinion only as I haven't actually heard either of them, the bigger 404's may be overkill and a big price difference

Thanks for the correction AI, I thought 404 was the newer model, not the bigger sibling

Yes it is the biggest but no worries...Thanks for the correction AI, I thought 404 was the newer model, not the bigger sibling

Perhaps some of the best speakers for a really small room would be second-hand Neat Iotas......

Not being flippant (those who kinda know online me will realise it's not in my nature) but are you buying the entire system blind/deaf without actually demoing anything.
A demo to actually hear things is rule number one in the deciding on what hifi is right.
Not unlike a new car it's the test drive of the hifi world, the trying on of a shoe.
With a healthy budget the results can be exponential joy or a disappointing flustraightion.
It's a potential mistake made very apt by it happening to member only recently here and to me once or twice despite the old convincing of myself I liked them to try and avoid both
mistake and disappointment
You started right by compiling a shortlist list with help from the right crowd here but I'm not sure with that budget it's wise buying on others people's preferences and written reviews alone. 🤔 maybe I've missed something

I went for a NAD C399/BluOS-Dirac + Elac Vela 403.2 + Elac RS500 wireless. I know, a sub is overkill but I love bass a lot!!
Thank you all for your help and advices !!!

elac vela bs403.2 hands down miles better than all you mentioned. evoke 20 is underwhelming overall, overprice to be honest. dali high frequency is terrible and harsh. I tested all especially the rubicore and evoke20. rubicore is just like bad tasting beer. and I enjoy my 25 yrs single malt and burgundy

Sounds like everyone else should just pack up and go home...
