Warm romantic & detailed

The Mac uses room perfect lyngdorf's room correction. It should work fine but you could get a Minidsp DDRC-22D  for $700 and use Dirac. 

Adding the Mc MEN220 is running separate software in that it is the Lyngdorf room correction and is a pricey solution at $4500.   It is also not certain to solve your problem.  I find Lyngdorf amps sound a little bright even with room correction engaged but I am not an expert on the implementation and engagement of that software.  

It might be cheaper for you just to get new speakers.  You should be able to get $2800 to $3000 on trade for your speakers if you have original packaging.  More if you sell them yourself.  Out-of pocket would then depend on the exact model you look at.  

For example, the Spendor D7.2s list for $6800.  That would means $3800 to $4000 out of pocker for a new Spendor vs. $4500 for the MEN220.  

If you were my customer that is roughly the deal I would offer for the Spendors.  

Another interesting speaker in the same price range would be the Scansonic MB5 B.  List is $7200.  Scansonic delivers a huge soundstage and is very natural sounding.  You are supposed to set them up off axis as the speaker is designed to use reflections in the room to deliver a deep and immersive soundstage.  

Trade allowance would probably go up a touch vs. Scansonic compared to Spendor but you get the idea. Whoever your dealer is, should be able to work with you to get to a smart solution that will resolve your issue and keep your budget down.  

Definitely - the Harbeth 40.2's, or 30.1 or 30.2's will provide that type of sound with the right DAC, Preamp, Amp - such as the Hegel H360/H390/H590.  I've got both, and that is they type of sound I get with the H590.  

I'm really interested in the Harbeth / Spendors mentioned, but going from so much detail to the other spectrum has me concerned.

Yup.  That’s exactly why I recommended the JA Perspectives.  Detailed but natural sounding. 

i will jump in here...

op, listen to scott/verdant - he really knows what he is talking about

- focals don’t need to be bright, but you need a warm toned amp to make that happen, most solid state will sound sharp
- harbeths, spendors would suit you very well, esp. with solid state amplification (hegels are just a wonderful match, per bassdude)
- upper proacs are excellent but their presentation is a notch brighter, more forward than the same level harbeths and spendors
- newest spatials are an interesting alternative if you would consider ’outside the box’ - like the proacs, they need a tube or two in the chain then they are silky, full, impactful everything you would want

i have no affiliation, other than own spendors (2 pr), proacs (4 pr), harbeths (2 pr) and just got a set of spatials (m3s) they are most impressive - had focals in the past they are gone
