Hi - I have been trying to tame the top end of my system with various changes. Each has brought benefits, but I now think that the treble of my Proac Response One SCs is just too shouty for me in my room, so I'm thinking of a speaker change.
On the list are Harbeth 30.1, ATC SCM11, 12 and 19, and Spendor 3/1. From what I've read, all of these have slightly rolled off highs. I have heard similar about current KEFs, but I just don't like how they look - much prefer the retro style of the Harbeths, Spendors and older ATCs.
My room is 3m x 5m, uncarpeted and sparsely furnished. The speakers would have to have their backs about 30cm from the rear wall. Ideally I'm looking for a warmer, fuller sound. Does anyone have views on which would work best? And are there others I should audition?
Also, does anyone have experience of both the ATC SCM12s against current SCM11s? The SCM12 specs says it has 10Hz less bass extension in measurments, but wondering how this stacks up in listening.
Many thanks,
J
