New room needs new speakers, I need your help
Hello everyone!
I have a new house and a new acoustically treated room, but it is very small: we are talking roughly 12' by 16'.
I use a pair of Dali Euphonia MS4 and I feel they need a bigger room to shine, the volume I need for them to sound full is just too much for my modest room. I really enjoy accurate timbres and I need a beautiful midrange and midbass, I listen mostly to women vocals and jazz.
I am looking for a pair of speakers that will cost me a maximum of 5K on the used market.
I am very sensitive to fatiguing treble, I don't look for absolute treble clarity, I love an easy listening speaker.
My ideal speaker would be the PMC IB2SE which I auditioned extensively, but sadly it is out of my budget.
I am open to your suggestions!
Rest of the system is
Sony Ps-X9 turntable on a Sutherland Phono
Analogue Audio Maestron Anniversary integrated amplifier
Lampizator DAC
Wattson Digital Streamer
Muon Filter
Silent Angel switch
All Luna Mauve Cables
Everything but the amplifier pluggeg in Plixir
Try the Musician Knight...(around 2k new)

@bigtwin The ceiling is very low, only 7 feet. the treatment consists of bass traps in corners and a mix of diffusers and absorbing panels on all walls and ceiling. There’s a big sofa, rug and some velvety beanbags. So the room is not empty, but it is very small and the speakers are only 7 feet apart and listening position is 7 feet away. They are about two feet away fro |

I listened to the Harbeths HL5 when I bought my amplifier, they sounded gorgeous in the midrange but they became quickly congested with orchestral music( which doesn’t happen with the Euphonias). While it’s not a genre I listen to a lot, it showed me the limitations of the speakers and made me consider the 40.2, sadly they are also out of my budget range… |
