Clear upgrade from 10T's?

Here's my story....

My new home set up requires that my Ariel 10T's be fairly close to the wall (12-18 in.) so, though I really have enjoyed them, I'm not getting the best sound.

My question: What should I audition that,is a clear upgrade to the Ariels, and performs at its best near the wall?

I have Bryston 7ST monos driving the 10T's, a Cinepro 3KSE driving the center and surrounds and a Proceed AVP2 pre/pro.

Thanks for any guidance and advice.

Hi Vincent,

The 20t's are bottom ported, which means they don't have to be quite as far from the rear wall as the 10t's. However, I still don't think they would work well against the wall. There have been some interesting speakers mentioned here as I sometimes think about moving to more efficient speaker myself.

Best of luck,

Dan

Gregadd, I don't think the 20t's would work against the wall either. As with the 10t's, too much bass reinforcement against the wall to achieve good sound.
