suggestions for speakers

thanks every body for their input. I don't have where to listen to proacs or meadowowlarks...Would you buy without? What do you think about b&w-like 805 nautilus compared to above suggestions? [ I have a b&w dealer around]

Hello Dandreescu,
If you are considering B&W N805's, take a listen to the Revel Performa M20. I was about to purchase the N804-N805 combo for my HT system. Than I had a friend tell me to take a listen to the Revs and I was hooked. I started w/the M20, had them as my L&R fronts. Then I added the F30's, I now use the M20's as my rears and I've been very happy. For you the M20 would be perfect. Although they are not as efficiant as the N805's, they are very detailed w/a good broad soundstage and the bass is incredible from a speaker of this size. The rosewood finish is what convinced my wife she could live w/them. They've had this speaker on the 'gon for about the same price as a used set of N805's. One thing, the stands are a must. They really help focus the sound considerably. Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. Happy hunting.....john

I am considering N805 for my MF A3CR. Could anyone advise if it is a good match? or Proac T2000s is better? Thx

If speakers must be close to the wall then that almost always rules out a rear-ported speaker. I think the proacs fall into this category. Anyone who has suggested a rear-ported speaker should be asked to qualify this recommendation when the speakers are close to the rear wall, and what the minimum distance is.

Used Ls3/5 or new Spendor 3/5 is a speaker which works well close to the rear wall. Bass does not go very deep, but a spendor or Rel sub can be added later (placed out of sight) to make up for this.
