15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume


Dear Audiophiles,

I am looking for some speakers for my home office. Speakers would be place 6ft from me on either side of my desk. Speakers will be 8 ft apart.

I love classical music and pop. I am looking for speakers for extended listening at not very high volume. They should be warm and non fatiguing.

I am currently considering following speakers:

1. Monitor Audio Gold 300

2. ATC SCM40

3. Kef R7 Meta

Do you have any other suggestions. Thanks and appreciate your help!

MY FINAL TAKEAWAY

 

do you have the requisite high-end upstream electronics ( that’s all of amp, and source(s) ) EACH of the same pricepoint strata or preferably better than your wishlist speakers?. (See philosophy of amps vs speakers caution posted earlier ). If not , then think again before you choose wisely.

Having personally auditioned all of my YouTube post suggestions above several times ….. If it’s 2.1 channel “ normal” nearfield listening arena that is a key driving compromise or limitation , then it’s the HARBETHS first …full stop.

FWIW ….full disclosure for my suggestions and preference based on my actual hands-on auditions at either dealers, audio expos, or at home ….just in case anyone challenges me with an unfounded some kind of other bias slant.

i do own :

- HARBETH M30.2 XD’s standmounts with an ATC C1 SUB MK2 subwoofer in my “A” system and

- REFERENCE 3a DULCET BE standmounts with a MARTIN LOGAN DYNAMO subwoofer in my “ B” system ( farther down from $USD 12K in their food chain of speaker model options);
