need recommendations for standmount speakers


Hi guys.

I’m looking for new standmount speakers. Budget is up to 3k but can stretch if needed. 

My current setup in my small bedroom (about 3x3m size) is as follows:

Cambridge Audio cxn v2
Benchmark dac3b
Benchmark hpa4
Benchmark ahb2
B&W 606 on b&w stav 24 stands
Rel t7i

Music is from tidal/roon and I have done REW on this setup. Somehow feels like something is missing.. I can’t pinpoint what exactly, but perhaps lacking some weight in the mids..

I’ve tried the Buchardt S400 for a month before eventually returning them. Although very good speakers, I felt they lacked a bit of high end sparkle. I preferred the top end of the b&w.

Unfortunately, I can’t have the speakers more than 20 cm from the back wall. They’re about 5 feet apart.

Any recommendations for new speakers? I was considering the B&W 705 s2, Dynaudio Special 40 and Focal Aria 906. Home demo is pretty hard to arrange where I’m at.

You can never go wrong with a pair of Watkins Stereo Gen 4s, amazing sounds quality out of a small speaker.

How do you quote people/replies on this forum??

Copy, what you want to quote, by right clicking on it. Open a "post your response" box and paste the text you want to quote. Once the text is pasted, right click on it again and highlight it. Once the text is highlighted, click on the " just above the top left corner of the "post your response" box. That will turn it into a quote. 


Paradigm Prestige 15Bs are outstanding, and $1600/pair. I'd give them a listen. I haven't heard better for less than $6500.

Hey thanks! I think it works. 

Anyways, was browsing through some speaker reviews and was curious if anyone here had any comments on the Kef R3.
