ATC SCM 7 V.3 and

Hi, looking for speaker to replace my 15 y.o Sonus Faber Concertino Domus speaker, currently using Accuphase E-280 integrated amplifier in a small room of 11.4'x 9.5' x 8' (L x W x H)

Was looking for ATC, B&W speaker which is good match & synergy with E280.   Lately i read some poor review on B&W product quality especially the 600 series.  Now focus on ATC .

Would like to know if E280 capable to drive this ATC SCM7 v.3 , how's the synergy ?  My preferred music genres are Jazz, Classical, vocals, etc.

Any other recommended brand of speakers with Accuphase is welcomed based on similar setup and genres.

Its really close to my specs room wise...you know what you want out of your system...Good stands and setup properly you may achieve a great sound stage with the scm 7.They may surprise you.Option to upgrade would be good.

I ended up toeing in enough to eliminate 1st reflection/just over shoulder.

@yogiboy thanks for your recommendation on Falcon, having checked our local distributor,  there's no Falcon Q7 here, but LS3/5a,  it's overpriced here at USD 4k.  

@digsmithd I hope SCM7 will sound good at low level listening in view of small room and not to disturb neighbourhood.

@lanx0003 I do hope I can express my listening experience after audition 🤭

Besides SCM7 , I will audition 10 years old Harbeth Compact 7ES-2 for comparison, the latter draws my interest for more musical and natural  sound and could listen at low volume level ...what do you guys thing about C7ES2 ?

Yeah nice speaker...they do sound like there more in your quest.The atc are musical and natural to my ears, but the harbeth are sweet musical.I think that there are trade offs with everything/speakers.Harbeths played at lower vol is a +.

Harbeth...older iteration...probably newer crossover updates/changes,metal tweeter?

Atc ...Will throw a nice sound stage...need to have some vol to get things up and running.Wont have the throw the harbeth have... just physics/cab volume.
