Speakers for weird sized room.....


So, I've recently gotten a dedicated listening room that is 9 feet wide, by 19 feet long, and am looking for a pair of speakers that may match well with this room size.  I currently have some PMC fact 8, and want to move to something better.  I have not tried anything in this room yet.  I have around 10 to 12k usd to play with.  

Thanks!!

Where do you have the speakers positioned currently, and what don’t you like?

Your speakers are well regarded.  What specific improvements would you be looking for?  That’d be the key info here for making good recommendations here.

So, I went back and read Kal Rubinson’s Stereophile review of your speakers and his impressions as well as John Atkinson’s measurements are both inline with what you’re hearing — that being a lack of energy/warmth from the upper bass and lower mids so I think replacing the speakers is a good idea. Also, having to place the speakers only 1 foot from the wall to augment bass is no doubt why you find their 3D soundstage lacking.

Here’s a beautiful pair of Usher speakers very nicely priced and should be a significant step up in virtually every way. They’re on the larger side but as long as you have the flexibility to pull them out from the back wall and a foot or so from the side walls with a bit of toe in they should be fine.

Here are a couple smaller options that would also be excellent choices although likely with a little less treble energy than your PMCs project.

Just some thoughts/ideas to ponder FWIW, and best of luck in your search.
