Wharfedale and Mission (both IAG companies now with British roots) are both now marketing very nice Mid-Fi heritage bookshelf speakers with come with stands that place them near your target height. These are really clever, well designed big battle boxes.
I have, and thoroughly enjoy, Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary units, there's a new bigger version called the Dovedale and slightly more forward Mission 770 tribute model.
These are all designed by Peter Comeau. He's been exploring the "golden ear" benefits of baffle steps under 700 hz to allow for creamy vocal and instrumental performance between that frequency and about 2500 hz. FWIW, I think he's telling the truth that this strategy delivers impressive musicality well beyond the '70's speakers these models mimic in their appearance.
Full range speakers, 40"-44" max height
I do not like tall speakers, especially when the tweeters sit high.
My height requirement fulfill speakers like Wilson Sophia, WP even Sasha or Meridian 7000 (but this is digital only).
Any other comparable ones in quality with the above?
And I need to stay under 10k used market.
