Try the Hales Revelation 2 or 3. They are great speakers for the price. I have heard them at a friends home. They are not ported so you should do well since you have to place them so close to the wall. I have a pair of Hales Transcendence 5 and they are magic. The Revelations are very musical as well. Check them out and you will be amazed. Good luck.
Speaker Help!!!
I'm currently in the market for some new speakers - around $2K or less. I have SS gear (Hafler)and digital front-end (Parasound and Audio Alchemy). My current speakers are locally made and retailed for about $1k. They are full-range, floor standing using a 6" kevlar driver. 1 1/2 Vifa tweeter and they are ported. My room is 24'X 17' and celings are vaulted to 12'. My problem is the entry way to the room is where my speakers are so I can only get them 14" from the back wall. They are approx 10' apart and my listening area is appropriately back. The speakers image very well and I have decent depth in the stage but it could be a LOT better. It is virtually impossible to move the speakers any further in the room - I have a wife and 2 small children! I have heard the Vandersteen 2ce and the Snell CV. Any recommendations as to which speakers (other that these too) would perform well with these limitations? I hear the Vandys need a lot of space from the back wall!
