Finding a Bookshelf for Luxman C900U/M900U


Hi everyone, I’m finding a bookshelf to replace the B&W 802D. My genre: Mainly Jazz & Acoustic Pop, 20% of Classical/Opera, and some Bossa Nova, 

 

Here is my story, I used to have a B&W 802D powered by the Luxman C/M-900U and Holo May KTE. However, the 802D is quite big for my room (WDH: 4m x 5m x 2.7m), the 802D create a tremendous bass in my room, which sometime make me feel tired when listenning in the long session. So I decide to move down to the bookshelf which will help me to avoid the room mode. 
 

The budget is around $5k -> $7k (secondhand speaker is a great choice).

 

My wish is TAD CE1 but out of budget. I have some name in my mind:

 

- Focal Utopia Diablo (Ver 2 not Evo)

- Dynaudio Confidence C1 Signature

- B&W 805 D3

Mine sit atop Sound Anchor stands and Herbie’s Fat Dots run by Luxman 509X. They are magical in the midrange, no heavy driving bass, extend well in the highs and image crazy good. Best of luck in your search.
