Before reading, I am getting a home demo of IPL speakers this week so this might be moot.
Bought a new amplifier, Abrahamsen V2.0 UP.
Works well with my Quad 21L2 speakers but I'm still itching to hear what this amp can do with better speakers.
I am in a small room, about 11'5" x 12' 11".
My speakers are on the narrow wall, but as the stair are opposite my seating position I lose around 4' from the longer wall.
With the speakers around 6' apart I have a nice triangle.
My Quad 21L2's sound good with the new amp.
Bass is better in every way, voices and instruments are very natural and treble is smooth.
The amplifier has solved most of my problems.
However, I think that the Quads might be unsuitable for the room as they try to go down to 35Hz but using a 6.5" mid/bass cone and a rear firing bass port. I think they need more space around them.
I am planning on getting large stand mount speakers instead.
The two I am thinking of are Harbeth M30.1 and IPL Acoustics SM2 MKII.
Is this the correct route to go down?
Any opinions from experience with these speakers?
