Bookshelf speaker recommendations


I am in the need for some recommendation for bookshelf speakers in a small room(10x10). I currently have the Paradigm Mini Monitor v3 and for the price are good sounding speakers but they are way too midbass heavy like boxy sounding. A few options I was looking was the Dynaudio Audience 42 or 52 or even the Contour 1.1. I listening to everything but mostly rock and country. Every once in a while I like listening to vocals and acoustic instruments.

This will be powered by an Acurus A150 amplifier with a Rotel RC-995 preamp. My source is strictly lossless files and some streaming. 

My budget is around 1.2k.

You might look into a pair of Fritz speakers if you can find a used pair in that price range....

The ATC SCM7 is $1349.00 new. My friend owned them and they would be a nice fit for a small room! Check the used market if you can’t go above your 1.2K budget!!

@glennewdick Do you have a link to it? There is alot of comparison on YouTube.

 

@yogiboy  Those are nice speakers but really like the SCM11 better for the bigger midbass woofer. Even thought the SCM7 might be more then sufficient for my room, I am a little weary about having too weak of bass.
