Starter SACD setup, ideal speakers ?

I have one grill for Alon V MKII speakers that I no longer need and want to sell if anyone is interested. Contact me.

Nedlabs is correct. I just got the B&W 805's and they do have a lot of reflections off my side walls. I have a 12x20 room. They are a bit "polite", but that suits me well for the somewhat lower listening volume necessary in my NYC apartment. They also offer home theater listeners an excellent qaulity center channel speaker, and many good rear surround options. The Audio Phisic Tempo is a great suggestion. The B&W also suits my decor very well. I could not ignore size and style in my case. They are a satisfying compromise.

I replaced my Genesis Vs ($15K) with a pair of Reference 3A MM De Capos (could be here today). Not sure I will need a sub yet. I heard the De Capos at two hi-fi shows (worst place to evaluate) and they sounded great. $2500, plus stands. You can link to their website from mine-www.audiotweakers.com

Listen to Thiel 2.3 and KEF Reference-II.

STAY AWAY FROM THE B&W'S IN THIS PARTICULAR SETUP....YOUR OVERALL BALANCE WILL END UP TOO POLITE AND RESERVED. SOMETHING MORE DYNAMIC, MORE UPFRONT WOULD BE MORE IDEAL....LIKE CABBASSE, DUNLAVY, TOTEM, JM LABS, AUDIO PHYSIC, ACOUSTIC ENERGY...ETC. I THINK B&W IS A PARTICULARLY BAD CHOICE IN A LITTLE ROOM, DUE TO THE TWEETERS VERY WIDE DISPERSION= LOTS OF REFLECTIONS OFF SIDE WALLS.

Alon II/V

It would be more correct to choose speakers first.
