If you want really laid back, get some Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand Speakers. A little too laid back for me, but very easy to listen to.
$1000 bookshelf speakers with "recessed", "laid back" or "flat" mid-range?
Dear all,
As stated above, I am looking for a bookshelf speaker with a mid-range that is laid back, recessed or flat. I currently own a pair of Elac Uni-Fi UB5, and I find their presentation quite forward in the mid-range, which I don't appreciate, especially at moderate to high volumes. I also own a pair or Pioneer SP-BS22, which I find more pleasing sounding (particularly the more recessed mid-range) than the Elac.
Since I can't audition speakers where I live, I am asking for your recommendations on bookshelf speakers that have a more "recessed" or "flatter" presentation in the mid-range. I have a budget of $1000. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Canton speakers are pretty neutral and just a tiny bit on the warm side. They also produce a lot of bass for their size. https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/cantvento836.2blka/canton-vento-836.2-7-2-way-bookshelf-speaker-black-pair/1.html If you can bump your budget up a bit: https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/cantventoref92dcblka/canton-vento-reference-9.2-dc-7-2-way-bookshelf-speaker-piano-black-pair/1.html |
