New room needs new speakers, I need your help


Hello everyone!

I have a new house and a new acoustically treated room, but it is very small: we are talking roughly 12' by 16'.

I use a pair of Dali Euphonia MS4 and I feel they need a bigger room to shine, the volume I need for them to sound full is just too much for my modest room. I really enjoy accurate timbres and I need a beautiful midrange and midbass, I listen mostly to women vocals and jazz.

I am looking for a pair of speakers that will cost me a maximum of 5K on the used market.

I am very sensitive to fatiguing treble, I don't look for absolute treble clarity, I love an easy listening speaker.

My ideal speaker would be the PMC IB2SE which I auditioned extensively, but sadly it is out of my budget.

 

I am open to your suggestions!

 

Rest of the system is


Sony Ps-X9 turntable on a  Sutherland Phono

Analogue Audio Maestron Anniversary integrated amplifier

Lampizator DAC

Wattson Digital Streamer

Muon Filter

Silent Angel switch

All Luna Mauve Cables

Everything but the amplifier pluggeg in Plixir

@grislybutter  What kind of list is this.  SoundLab doesn't even get a mention.  I'm beside myself with indignation!   🤣

@maurice89   I won't make a speaker recommendation but I will suggest you try placing the speakers on the long wall.  When your room dimensions are entered into programs that calculate the best combination of L - W - H, your particular room gets a better rating using the long wall placement.  Just something to consider, IMHO.  Cheers.

@maurice89 fair enough.  I did spend a couple months a/b’ing a set of Dynaudio Heritage Specials.  What a beautiful sounding speaker.  Just packed them up and sold them to fund some other investments.  But, they have a really smooth high to mid transition and the bass from them was astonishing.  Drove them with a Pass Labs X150.8.  FWIW.
