Just moved the Cyrus kit out of a large bedroom into a room 3m wide by 7m long by 2.4m high. Listening position varies from 2m sitting to 4 m standing whilst in the kitchen cooking. Floorstanding speakers are firing down the long dimension and are 60cm from front and side walls. As these are getting on a bit I thought it might be a good time to go and audition a few alternatives.
My local dealerships, mostly the normal chains, within 25 miles stock the familiar brands of B &W, KEF, Monitor, PMC, PROAC, Spendor and possibly Dynaudio Focus 160, 260
but not much else without some 100 mile return journeys to London.
I listen to most genres of music so not only do the speakers have to behave close to walls they should be able to reproduce a widw variety of music.
As I have Mono X200s as the driving force (Stream X, DAC XP+, Chord Sig i/c & Speaker Cable) what speakers would you put on the short list to listen to.
Budget wise I have not set a maximum amount as I have an inkling that the law of diminshing returns applies to this set up in terms of room and amplification. So instead how about recommendations in the following price bands.
1000-2000
2000-3000
