speakers for small room


I have a small living room. My amp is an Accuphase powering some Harbeth P3ESRs and a KEF KC62 subwoofer. Sounds great for acoustic and jazz. However, I also like big symphonic works and the Harbeths don't cut it for that. I'm looking for something more dynamic and something that can push more air to give me that grand experience of listening to big works. Any recommendations? Assume a budget of $10000.

 

TIA

Other than better dynamics, what sound characteristics are you looking for, do you prefer monitors or towers, what are your room dimensions, how much power does your amp have, and are you looking for new or used?  Sorry for all the questions — just trying to make the most appropriate and useful recommendations possible. 

I think Joseph Audio Pulsars could be a great fit for what you’re looking for given the relatively small size of your room. Here’s a nice pair in SoCal so maybe you could even go give them a listen. IMO they’re wildly overpriced and should be more like $5k max including stands — he ain’t never gonna sell these for near the $6250 he’s asking for. I’d suggest going for a listen if possible and see if you can strike a deal if they give you what you’re looking for,plus if they’re in SoCal you save shipping.

Best of luck.

I recommended Pulsars earlier, but if your room can handle floorstanders I’d recommend the Perspective 2 as it’ll give you a bit more scale.

Another possibility would be Spatial Audio speakers that are a dipole design and are very good at scaling up depending on the music.

Just a couple more options for you to chew on.
