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.

+1 for Totem. Their Sky stand mount has relatively deep bass response with great mids and highs. Doesn’t need powerful amp. Made in Canada. 
 

if your budget permits, Aerial Acoustics 5T is a spectacular speaker made in the US.

Based on your pre-amp and amp, it looks like you have a multi-channel HT system and also use it for 2-channel music listening. Is this correct? Do you have center/surround speakers also connected to the system?

Not too many B's are good at low end, 602's are very good sounding midrange-trebble. Just add sub
