How about LS60’s? They have a fairly small footprint.

Apologies, I should have read the whole thread first. I would have seen they have already been suggested.

I admit I am a KEF fan. I have a 5.1 with R7s as front and R3s on the rear coupled with a Hegel 190 to power the fronts when I’m just listening to music. I love them, but I have often toyed with the idea of getting rid of them all and just getting the LS60s as they will certainly take up far less space.

The main thing to consider is what are you using to playback your music and what mediums are you interested in using.

I’m my man cave I just wanted to stream and connect to a TV so I have a 30yr old Cyrus 2 amp with a PSX power supply, Bluesound node and Dali Opticon MkII. I really can’t fault that either. It sounds far better than I imagined it could.

I used to have a really awkward room like yours too, the thing that I felt really helped me was a sub just to help fill the sound out. Sadly I don’t live in that house any more, the ex kept it…….

It was those Dali's and the KEF R3s that I couldn't make my mind up about when I veered back into separates for my office with the Cyrus One Cast amp

I only got to hear the Dali's in the shop; they did sound absolutely superb though

Great to hear your Cyrus amp drives them well

Loads of very hard surfaces, glass, porcelain. Crazy roof angles etc. Horrendous for listening basically

Those Buchardt A500s look right up my street but show as sold out. The point someone made about room correction seems especially relevant to my space. The KEF stuff doesn’t seem to have any. I just watched Darko’s review of the A500s… mmmmm want

I have very eclectic tastes musically everything from Dub to Classical. DnB to Chilli Peppers. Not much music i cant appreciate accept perhaps some weird europop ste

+1 For a sub calming things down in a really bright sounding room. We have similarly eclectic music taste and my bright space is pretty decent sounding now.
