Excellent ATC recommendation! For those who might want a versatile speaker that can be placed on a bookshelf, or stand mounted near or far from the wall, look at the EPOS ES-7N - another speaker with '7' in the model name. Lots of great reviews and youtube comparisons on this speaker. Designed by Karl Heinz Fink.
Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer
I have a pair of REL Ti9 subs in my dedicated listening room which is 12 x 17. I am looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers that would pair well with the subs. Searching on my own and watching reviews has made a choice even worse. So many to choose from. I mostly listen to jazz and blues with some classic rock thrown in. I have a good SACD collection and several dsd files. There are no audiophile stores close to me.
Any input would be appreciated.
