Recommendation all-rounded speaker (small room)


Hi audiogon forumers,

I listen to variety of music genres from slow, lazy to fast music, jazz, classical to pop/rock depends on mood.

Thus, I need your humble opinion to recommend all-rounded speaker to fit my small listening room (12' x 10' x 9' , W x D x H).  Currently using Accuphase AB amplifier, source from Roon via Intel NUC/Auralic.

I am eyeing at SCM 11 with great interest.  Anyone other recommendation is very welcome.

Good for you...cant see you not liking them.If your system is dialed in reasonably youll hear it through them...Be sure to let us know progress and ask questions?

Late to the game.... I have had harbeth and others in the past. If going valve a small ls3 like falcon ls3/5 they have a 15ohm speaker which my Leben 18w loved. Harbeth need a bit of oomph to drive. A great option if changing amp is to get a powered Ls50 meta (active)

Wharfedale Linton a cheap great bet..... 

@ghdprentice @digsmithd Thanks guys.

Finally I got SCM11 setup and listened over the weekend. Initial impression , it delivers a wider sound stage than my previous Sonus Faber.  Deeper bass and sweet mid range (vocal) and much detail on higher midrange frequency .  

But some tracks giving boomy bass than my previous speaker.  At the moment I only have two bass traps at lower bottom corner of front wall.  Should I treat my room, four wall corner with extended foam acoustic panel upto ceiling ? 

 I have both shelves and curtain on side walls, it will act as diffuser.

Would like to hear your thoughts on bass related issues.

 

Congrats on your purchase! Give those babies some time to break in before making any judgements on their sound. I've never owned ATC stand mounts but I would say at least 150 hours. Just put a CD on repeat all day if you can.

Would like to know about your setup...stands,on shelves.How far out into room are you allowed lol.Kidding...Its a process to achieve great performance from any speaker/soundstage,but atc are very well controlled speaker having no port.I started with room treatments but felt it dead’nd the room too much.I toed them in at just over the shoulder to avoid side wall/1st reflection...i ended up with no treatments and let the ears adjust to what im hearing.Liver performance,better bass and vocals,soundstage as well.I think as speaker gets run in bass will tighten up and improve.This is were people either do the work/readup for setup or sell them and blame the speaker...they will take at least 300 hrs initially imho.Let us know your changes...and yes congrats!
