If I was going to spend that kind of money on new speakers, I'd spend just a little more (say $9,450/pair right now which includes shipping in the continental U.S.) and go for the Tekton Ulfberhts. Yes, some people say they need to at least 3 feet out from a wall and they are beasts, but others say they work just fine 2 feet away from a wall and I have yet to read a negative review about them. Virtually every review says they're also tremendous values even at that price point. They also have a seriously high sensitivity, so they can be driven by just about any amp. You'll need some muscle to help you get them inside, but I think it would be worth it.
Need speaker recommendations.
I need recommendations for speaker brand/models that can be placed relatively close to the front wall without degradation in sound quality. Say, within 1-2 feet. My front wall is ’h’ shaped (side view). There is a 1-ft deep ledge at the height of 2-ft 4-inch from the floor (imagine right half of the letter ’h’) and the overall height of the wall is 9-ft. Front to back wall is 18-ft.
Budget under US$8,000. Don’t care between stand-mounted or floor-standing. If a specific partnering amp/preamp are highly desirable (for any reason) please tell me why.
Thanks,
Amit
