+1 for Vienna Acoustics. I love mine, have owned them for several years and I don’t see myself selling them. They do so much so well, plus they look great.
speakers that are a little laid back in the mids
I'm just curious what full range speaker people have found where the mids, voices etc are not so up front. I have had my share of speakers and some I considered to be very good but over time seem to be on top of you. Not necessarily harsh however. My room is 13 x 16 and I have used tubes and ss.

@dpm2340 not only the distance to the front wall that matters but also how close the speakers are to each other. Creating more space between the speakers relaxes the mids. Moving them close together will bump up midbass and midrange. You have to play around with speaker placement. if that doesn’t help, look into what’s upstream - components and cables. |
The new SVS Ultra Evolution speakers are VERY laid back. When I heard them, they were way too dead for my taste, but maybe to others... https://www.stereophile.com/index.html

I had the Otello for about 2 years and would have never called the midrange forward. I'd say if anything, as much as I loved this speaker, I had a tough time making it more aggressive when the music called for it. You might have an aversion to digital? If you are using Roon, you can make some EQ modifications to the range that you are finding offensive. Also curious if you have any power or cable solutions. Great speaker don't give up on them because many I've heard are harsh compared to Verity. |
