Clear upgrade from 10T's?


Here's my story....

My new home set up requires that my Ariel 10T's be fairly close to the wall (12-18 in.) so, though I really have enjoyed them, I'm not getting the best sound.

My question: What should I audition that,is a clear upgrade to the Ariels, and performs at its best near the wall?

I have Bryston 7ST monos driving the 10T's, a Cinepro 3KSE driving the center and surrounds and a Proceed AVP2 pre/pro.

Thanks for any guidance and advice.

AV George..does that approach work in your house? Unfortunately, my current set up does not allow to put the Ariels 3-4 feet into the room as I would like.

I am intrigued by the Druids. How are they on bass? I know the Definitions have been getting alot of press on this site by they are a little pricey.
Thanks for the replies. Am I correct in assuming that a rear-ported base design is not well-suited for my application (ie near the front wall)?

As for the 20T's, I have not heard them but I think they have a sealed base unit.
