Looking for nearfield passive speakers that are warm and rich


I really like my ATC Scm7s that I use at my desk but I want something warmer, richer more bassy. Something that does well with vocals and jazz.

 

Budget is $5000.  They are being driven by arc ref5se and pass x350.8, dac is denafrips terminator. Thanks.

The Folia Jubilee is a good choice as would be the Bliss Jubilee if you have the room. I own both the Bliss and Abscisse Jubilee models. Have owned six JMR models total over the last twenty years. I also own a pair of Harbeth C7's which would be the model line equivalent of the Bliss Jubilee's at almost double the price.  To me it is not a contest as to which is the better speaker.

I would recommend Tannoy Legacy Eaton or Cheviot if you can stretch to them.

Also consider vintage Tannoy with Monitor Gold 10” / 12” or HPD  315a drivers.

Not sure of what size people consider desktop but I think the Chartwell LS6 are very nice for near field. Check out the size before buying.
