Just bought a Supernait 3 and next to be upgraded are my Q Acoustics 3030i bookshelf speakers.
Speakers are approx 10 inches from wall. I can't bring them out any further than that and ideally I'd like to push them back slightly if the speaker allows.
Budget is 2.5k, I'm open to the second hand market too.
I demonstrated the Supernait 3 with the Dynaudio Evoke 50 and loved the combination. My room is smaller than the place I auditioned the SN3 + Evoke 50 so floorstanders may be too much for my room.
Questions;
1) What is the difference between front and rear ported bookshelf speakers? Aesthetics or more?
2) My ears are sensitive to bright/harsh sounding treble. Maybe this is why I enjoyed the Dynaudio Evoke 50 as they use soft dome tweeters. Are soft dome tweeters best suited for my needs or is that a misplaced statement?
3) Do sealed cabinets go as low as ported cabinets?
I do enjoy my bass as I listen to Parov Stelar and JK type music. The bass is massively important and I don't want to add a subwoofer.
The only music I don't listen to is heavy rock/metal.
Any recommendations? I need a shortlist to go demo.
