Looking for nearfield passive speakers that are warm and rich

@jackd The dealer offered me a Fyne f500 and said it was brighter but a better speaker than the JMR Folia. I don't think ill go for it but just a datapoint to observe.

Based on your original post Fyne's not the direction you want to go in.  And as to which is the better speaker that's debatable period but not in this situation.  Maybe he has more margin in the Fyne and since you haven't moved on the Folia just throwing something else.  If he's local just go listen for yourself as the people on this forum don't have to listen to whatever you buy everyday. To me based on my experience it would be an easy choice without even listening but I'm not the one listening in your room.  Make the trip and get it over with. If you're in the GTA I can't imagine many speakers you couldn't listen to in person. 

Crap website, and I don't even know if they're still in business but I would reach out and inquire. I own a pair of the 1.6 WC and will never part with them. Best bookshelf speakers I've ever owned. If you want detail PLUS warmth...the wool carbon cones are absolutely brilliant.

To put in perspective, I also own ProAc Tablette 10s, which are amazing in their own right, but the Source speakers are my go-to's. Fuller, warmer, more relaxed - yet absolutely spot on with details.

A desk is no substitute for heavy speaker stands. I would only keep that budget if you can get them off the desk (beyond the desk). Find where the speakers sound best in the room off the desk on good stands and only then move your desk to where the best sound is. When the speakers are firing toward you with a desk in between, you might also consider treating the desk to dampen reflections.

 @jackd  I emailed JMR to ask if their silk in their tweeter is synthetic or natural since i dont buy natural silk for ethical reasons. This was a solid 2 weeks ago I think and still no response.
