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

Hi @deep_333
Does the Borresen share sound signature with Scansonic? I used to have the Scansonic MB3.5, the Treble/Mid is good, however the Bass seem not very coherence and a little bit fake to my ears :’(

@darkknight8586 , no, the Borresen is a better designed, better sounding speaker across the board than scansonic.

If you can stretch your budget further than the OP, echoing @yyzsantabarba 's suggestion above, I would suggest the Yamaha NS3000 (10k) or the NS5000 (15k) as well for this kickass Luxman stack.
