Floor to Bookshelf


I have a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 12.4 towers that I like but are simply too large for my listening position. A smaller pair of floorstanders would work just fine, but since I presume I will one day be moving everything into a smaller listening space, I'm thinking of taking this opportunity to move down to standmount speakers. 

That said, I'd love some recommendations for a pair of speakers that would still feel like an upgrade in sound. Non-fatiguing detail is most important to me, as is imaging and soundstage. Right now I'm looking at the Dynaudio Evoke 20, but those are a bit pricey. I'd like to spend less if I can but the budget is probably $1k-$2k.

Just to add to what @mesch said, I wanted to add this video review I found recently. I know it comes down to taste, but for my taste (and sense of value) Dynaudio cannot really touch Fritz. I've heard the Fortys, the Evokes... it's just no contest.

 

I’m very familiar with the Dynaudio Evoke series and they are quite good. However, I spent 7 months with Fritz speakers and wrote about them here and here. They are extensively discussed on this forum -- use the search bar or see, e.g., here. I think the Carbon7 mk II might be perfect. I suggest you give him a call. He’s a sweetheart and will work with you. @fritzspeaks
