I have a Roksan K3 Amplifier and CD Di cd player and an old pair of Dynaudio Audience 40's on Atacama SE24 stands. The Amp and Cdp are recent additions to my system and have highlighted that I need a different pair of speakers in my 16'x13' carpeted and soft furnished lounge (there is also a dining room around 9'6"x9' in open plan-it is an L-shaped lounge/dining room). The Dynaudios are rear ported and really need more space from the back wall that I'm giving them (12"/30cm), which WAF just won't allow. I'm therefore considering something that will sit comfortably within 12"/30cm of the back wall. My listening position is around 9' from the back wall btw.
My budget is £1500 all in, for either floorstanders or stand-mounts including stands. I have listened to some ATC SCM 11's at a dealer which were sat on wooden,non-spiked stands paired with a MF M3si Amp and Rega Saturn Cdp-I was surprised at how "thick/plummy" the SCM 11's sounded, even when a couple of feet from the rear wall! I appreciate that a home demo is required with any speaker but I was hoping that the SCM 11 would be a prime candidate for me. Any other suggestions to put on my demo list would be appreciated. I'm in Berkshire,in the Uk and would be willing to travel a bit for the right choice.
Music is eclectic but heavy rock, AOR, dance and 80's electronic figure heavily.
