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.

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.
Thanks for the replies. Am I correct in assuming that a rear-ported base design is not well-suited for my application (ie near the front wall)?

As for the 20T's, I have not heard them but I think they have a sealed base unit.
I also need to be close to the wall, I bought a pair Tyler Woodmere,s they work very well appox 12" from the back wall.(they are a front ported design) although they are larger than your 10t,s and designed for a large room. If they are larger than you need check out some of his other front ported speaker systems.
I too had the 10's. I moved to Montana EPS. They have the port in the front,although I never had them against the wall.--Beg to the misses,your a 'phile and your speaker needs its space."Up-against-the-wall" seems like it is preparing to be shot??
