After more years playing with hifi that I care to mention, I have many areas of total ignorance and so really appreciate advice. I am looking to replace a pair of Epos ES14 in a Naim based system; one of them is slowly dying. I have never tried floorstanders, and have some preconceptions that I will find more bass extension and a laid back presentation. I need to avoid peaky treble, either it is my Naim gear or my ageing ears, but a recent dabble with Dynaudio Excite X12s was no success with listening fatigue being a serious issue. I really like the ES14s, so guess that something with their qualities and a little more bass, although tight control is a must, would be perfect. There is a bit of an itch to get something chunky! I listen at moderate volume and so, in theory, a 3-way design could move extra air and thus generate a bit more bass impact at low volumes than a smaller standmount design. I wonder how many woeful generalisations are contained in that last sentence....
Floormounts or standmounts (again), where would you go?
