I have used a pair of these speakers since I bought them new in the 1970s for £199.95, (Which makes on realise how much the cost of living has increased since then!) Changed the amp a couple of times, presently use a NAD C340. I'm not one who whacks up the volume, (|Don't like disturbing the neighbours) but if I do use my Sennheiser HD650 headphones. However their lack of bass, is the reason I am upgrading but want to do this WITHOUT having to whack up the volume to get it! Musical tastes are varied, but do like Organ works. Present amp is a NAD c-340 ... which seems to be 'light' on the bass, so if something with more 'meat' at those frequencies, (or has a loudness button) I'd be willing to also change that too in a few months. For the speakers, I'm willing to spend just over £1000 ... as I suspect that's going to be what speakers of comparable quality are going to cost me nowadays. Room size is 21ft x 16ft, and speakers will be mounted onto brick walls.
I get the impression that the wall-mounting of speakers delivers 'serious' compromises, (and the lack of a wall-mounted speaker category seems to indicate that your magazine doesn't even want to acknowlege their existance!) but my room, and the amount of space that floorstanders take up (especially behind them) deliver to me, even bigger compromises, which are just unacceptable!
