need your advice on speakers and CD players


    Hi audiopeople! I'm almost ready to buy a system and would need your advice. I have a room that is 12 x 20 feet with an 8 1/2 foot ceiling. I listen to acoustic jazz, vocals, Brazilian, African, R&B, and classic rock. I will be sitting about 9 feet from the speakers, which will be about 2 feet from the rear wall. 
    I love the Harbeth M 30.1.  I also really like the Dynaudio Confidence C1, but I'm concerned about the rear porting, and think the Harbeths sound more natural -- any thoughts?
    I'm going to get the Luxman 507 ux integrated, and either the Luxman CD-05 or CD-06 CD player. Has anybody out there listened to both? Is the CD-06 worth 4K more?
   I'm planning on using Audience 24SE cables. Your thoughts are most appreciated.

If you place the loudspeakers at least 24" out into the room the rear port shouldn't be a factor.  Personally I like the Harbeth over the Dynaudio.  They have a more welcoming and relaxed sound.  Neither is particularly sensitive, but the Luxman should be more than capable of driving both very well.  Please post what you end up doing.
