Aerial Acoustics 5T are great speakers. If you like those, I'd recommend adding NSMT 15SE to the list. To me, it's the 5T with more transparency (lower noise floor/darker background), more solid soundstaging (placement of singer/instruments) and a bit more "boogie" to the music. I've listen both with vocals (Eva Cassidy, Beck), indie rock, EDM (LCD Soundsystem) and all sound wonderful where the NSMT 15SE was definitely a qualitative upgrade from the 5T.
High end bookshelf speakers for Small room
I have to downsize my listening room. Looking to get a pair of bookshelf speakers for a room size 13x14 which has furniture carpet and I plan to do some acoustic treatment if needed. Would love to get some subs as well. Currently I have rels510 which might be too much for this small room..
My audio chain - Aurender N20, dCS Rossini + clock, luxman509z amp.
Music preference - Acoustic, rock, pop, piano, instrumental.. pretty much different genres.
Sound preference - bold close to you vocals, clean detailed sound. Slightly warm is fine.
Current candidates - TAD ME/CE, Joseph audio pulsar2, dynaaudio, Sonia Faber..
Any inputs here are much appreciated.. thanks in advance
