Consider room treatment...Bass traps, first reflection zone absorption and buy what speakers you like that sound the best to you. If your room is untreated, you will never hear the true sonic potential of any speaker you choose. Generally, the closer a speaker is to the rear wall, the more perceived the bass is. All untreated rooms overload with bass and make the frequency response of the room far from flat. That issue robs your speakers, system of it's true sonic potential. Room treatments are the best money you can spend on a system...more so than the components themselves, imo.
Which TOWERs work well CLOSE to the BACK WALL?
I have a budget of $10k to $25k and am looking for speakers that perform well when they are placed close (say 6 inches away) from the back wall.
Also, thoughts on which speakers to avoid.
I am looking at REVEL and B&W, but am willing to consider others (maybe Thiel, McIntosh, Martin Logan, ?).
Someone noted that I should avoid any rear facing ports. True?
Other considerations are that the fairly large hexagonal room has lots of glass.
In terms of music, we enjoy all sorts of rock, blues, and guitar of all types. Finally voice clarity, cymbals and high treble are important.
Thanks
