stand-mount speakers for classical music


Last year's search for stand-mount speakers got scuttled by other priorities. I used the time since to optimize existing config and critically evaluate all the thingz.

> 90% of my listening is classical up to moderate dB, remaining 10% is mix of electronic, alternative and classic rock up to loud dB ( >= 12 o'clock on -dB dial).

Classical breakdown: 70% chamber/solo instrumental and vocal, 30% orchestral and opera.

Gear: Micromega M-100 int amp, Nola Boxer v1, dual Syzygy SLF870 12" 1000w subs w/ room-correction, all source material is streaming (.flac or Qobuz)

Room: challenged 3700cf L-shape with speakers centered at 7' point of a 27' head wall. Vaulted ceiling to 13', hardwood floors, some rugs.

Budget: under $5K

Grateful to hear from other standmount owners with similar listening profiles.

These all present classical music beautifully. 

However @schubert is a classical guru on the site, so he may have one of the more informed opinions
The passive ATC SCM20SL is on the Lone Mountain website. Retail is $6499.

The active version. SCM20ATSL, is a tower, mentioned but not pictured.

Any Spendor model would also be a good choice.
The very inexpensive Klipsch RP-150M are great with classical music from soft listening to loud. Haven't heard the RP-600M but I would guess they are at least as satisfying.
Forgot to say, the small Klipsch compare very well with my favorite classical music speakers Klipsch Quartets.
Classical music sounds great on omnidirectional speakers like Duevel Bella Luna, Geman Physiks Unlimited or MBL 126. You can "see" and pinpoint each section of the orchestra when setup well.
