REGA RS1’s / R1s

".... The Rega R1 becomes my new budget reference speaker. In addition of its ability to get the fundamentals of music right, it adds clarity and resolution, and an ability to lay out a vivid and coherent 3-dimensional stereo image. In small room applications, what more could you want?

Immediate impressions are a clear and transparent portrayal with very high detail retrieval, fast and controlled transient response, and superb musical timing, both in articulating rhythms and tempi, and in placing instruments within the temporal flow and context of the performance. The RR125 is an outstanding mid/bass driver, sonically and musically right in line with the midrange performance of Rega’s amplifiers and phono cartridges. Get the midrange right and everything else will fall into place. Get it wrong, and all the king’s horses…

Unlike many inexpensive speakers, the R1 is a very high-resolution device. It is not “dumbed-down” to flatter less able partners or mediocre recordings, nor does it partake of the old British stereotype of too stiff an upper lip reticence. It handles nuance and exuberance equally well. It is capable of revealing differences in electronics and sources that less capable and opaque designs simply cannot resolve. ..."

highly recommended .

I'm not going to recommend a speaker,however,because of your placement,you need to only look at something with a sealed box,or front porting. Rear porting will not sound optimal with your placement.

I would give a listen to the new ELAC B5 and B6 speakers, and look for an old AR turntable.

ML Lx-16 or Motion 15 great value and sound. 

Have a MARANTZ 2220B paired with ADS L470's and sounds good to me.If you consider used ADS speakers work well with the MARANTZ receivers .
