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

With your room,budget,DREAM SPEAKER(PMC IB2SE) & easy listening requirement you should have a long hard look at the Wharfedale Linton 85th.Anniversary...You'll save a TON of $ as well as getting a SUPERB speaker!
 My second recommendation is the Harbeth M30.2Xd,which is a bit more extended in the treble,even more resolving through the midrange & an easier load on an amplifier...

I enthusiastically recommend Ryan R610's. I admit I'm kind of a cheerleader for these rather underappreciated speakers, but they do everything right, especially for a small(ish) room like the one you describe. I'm using them in a room that's somewhat bigger than yours (about 22 X 16) but they fill the space extremely well, image precisely, and exhibit a very even tonal balance. They have a very good bass response for their size, though I do use a sub with them. The other thing about these speakers is that they won't break the bank--they retail for about half your stated budget. 

@cooper52 I'm sorry but I have to disagree with this recommendation..I owned the R610's & found them very bright compared to the Fritz Carbon7SE they replaced..
