Focal, B&W or Martin Logan
@ghdprentice You're correct... I was mistaken. They're not 12 feet apart, they're only 6 feet apart, while my chair is about 12 feet back from them. The worst part of the set up is the TV in the middle, but that will likely have to stay. |
Then you seating position should be 6 - 7 feet. If your system sounds great at that distance… an you like the ML, then bigger ML would help. But even then you are probably going to have to move your chair forward for critical listening. You can see my system by clicking on my ID. My chair is only 7 or 8 feet from my speakers forming an equilateral triangle. If I would want to move my seating position back I would probably have to double the cost of my speakers… but that would create another problem… over powering the space. |
I find McIntosh a good paring with B&W for what it is worth. You might not like either brand. B&W has a lot of tech and is build very well but they have a strong house tuning for a highend speaker. At these price points I want it pretty transparent to the source. When I owned B&Ws I was always turning it up to get some dynamics then turning it off when my ears wore out. Focal is a lot more neutral. The current line more so than their older lines. The only thing is the poor bass extension could be an issue if you don’t want to run subs. They need subs in a bad was. The Wilson Audio Sabrina is another good speaker that works well close to the wall. A bunch used on here too. |
