New room needs new speakers, I need your help


Hello everyone!

I have a new house and a new acoustically treated room, but it is very small: we are talking roughly 12' by 16'.

I use a pair of Dali Euphonia MS4 and I feel they need a bigger room to shine, the volume I need for them to sound full is just too much for my modest room. I really enjoy accurate timbres and I need a beautiful midrange and midbass, I listen mostly to women vocals and jazz.

I am looking for a pair of speakers that will cost me a maximum of 5K on the used market.

I am very sensitive to fatiguing treble, I don't look for absolute treble clarity, I love an easy listening speaker.

My ideal speaker would be the PMC IB2SE which I auditioned extensively, but sadly it is out of my budget.

 

I am open to your suggestions!

 

Rest of the system is


Sony Ps-X9 turntable on a  Sutherland Phono

Analogue Audio Maestron Anniversary integrated amplifier

Lampizator DAC

Wattson Digital Streamer

Muon Filter

Silent Angel switch

All Luna Mauve Cables

Everything but the amplifier pluggeg in Plixir

we are a  long time dali dealer the ms 4 are fantastic loudspeakers we had ours in an 18 by 16 foot room and they sounded great

you may just need to play with placement

@grislybutter  What kind of list is this.  SoundLab doesn't even get a mention.  I'm beside myself with indignation!   🤣

@maurice89   I won't make a speaker recommendation but I will suggest you try placing the speakers on the long wall.  When your room dimensions are entered into programs that calculate the best combination of L - W - H, your particular room gets a better rating using the long wall placement.  Just something to consider, IMHO.  Cheers.

@maurice89 fair enough.  I did spend a couple months a/b’ing a set of Dynaudio Heritage Specials.  What a beautiful sounding speaker.  Just packed them up and sold them to fund some other investments.  But, they have a really smooth high to mid transition and the bass from them was astonishing.  Drove them with a Pass Labs X150.8.  FWIW.
