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.

Listen an active Focal monitor and sell your amplifier. Solo6 BE or Trio6 BE would be fine...

@smodtactical ,No problem. You just put one one each side of the desk, tweeters inside😁 

LS3 5As with a sub under the desk. I would elevate them on small stands getting them at ear height. Kef LS50 meta would be my second choice.

My desk is towards the back of the media room. It also serves as a work bench. I just listen to the main system. At the desk I am concentrating on other things so music is purely background. All serious listening is done a few feet away in the new Stressless Max recliner that is still hanging out somewhere in Norway.
