finding the right speakers for my room + budget
Hi everyone, I'm trying to find the right speakers for my listening tastes, room, and budget.
Budget = $1750... I don't mind used at all.
Image and soundstage should be great of course
I like a relaxed speaker that I can listen to all day.
Vocals, acoustic, strings, live music is what i listen too most. But I do listen to many genres so it should be versatile
I want something detailed which is sometimes hard to find when you go to warm/relaxed.
Maybe the most important, they should sound real. If i close my eyes i dont want to know im listening to speakers. When i open them i should be amazed that the sound is coming from 2 wooden boxes.
My room is 10x17 but the speakers will be firing short ways across the room, so across the 10 ft section.
I can not place them out into the room, they need to be close to the wall. I wont say how close to the wall since that depends on how deep the speaker is but the front of the speaker can only be about 15" from the wall. So most likely 0-6" spacing to the wall.
One speaker will be near a corner of the room. About 12" or so from the corner.
I listen at low to medium volumes.
Most of my music is stored on my computer and plays through a DAC. Blue circle USB Thingee. Some is through CD
If they are a floorstander they need to be a small floorstander. think Totem Staff, Vienna Mozart, B&W CM8
I will pick an amp after i find the right speakers.
Thank you in advance for your help. I'm sure you guys will point me in the right direction(s).
If any more info is needed, let me know.
