Stand Mount Speakers

It seems like there is an endless amount of options these days, some good and some not so good. I've been using a very clean set of B&W 602 S3 speakers for quite some time. Great when the volume is up, but not so great at the low end. I'm in a 1300 sq ft condo now and the main room is about 800 sq ft. Current equipment is as follows:

Emotiva XMC-1 Processor Emotiva BasX 5 channel amp Emotiva Airmotiv 8 Sub Thorens TD 145          Mac Mini Apple TV

I listen to a lot of vinyl, multiple genres and stream some music and movies.

I'm looking for bookshelf/stand-mount speakers. Was leaning toward the Focal Aria K2 906 or the Dynaudio Evoke 20. Other recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Lee Taylor makes some beautiful cabinets.

however never heard them unfortunately 

my experience with speakers is very mixed.

I’ve had Quad ESL, Maggie, TAD, AR, Paradigm,

Epos, Elac , Bozak Polk, and what it all came down to was room acoustics and power!

currently I’m using Epos Epic 2 with about a 120 watt feed and they sound great.

also I’m using Elac 2.0/B6.2 with 80 watts of power and these too sound v good.

Also the quality of the music feed is vital. In sum, it’s not an easy equation to solve-it’s like a simultaneous equation- 

I think the Elac are terrific ,not because of price , but it’s unreal what Andrew Jones did for speakers that sell for a fraction of others.

Also the use of a power conditioner where I reside has been an asset. It’s hard to be pleased with a multi variant like audio !

nevertheless we are supporting the economy and keeping out of trouble !
