Hi folks,
I'm wondering if there are any larger stand mount speakers that don't mind being too close to walls? By large I mean 6.5-8 inch drivers. I realise the laws of acoustics make it difficult to have big bass near a wall without issues, but I am wondering which speakers are MORE suitable for a 15cm distance from the back wall. I considered the Q Acoustics 3030i, the Wharfedale 12.2 and the ELAC Debut Reference 62, but from reviews it seems none of these would work. Or perhaps they will? Another option may be the ELAC Debut B6.2.
I am currently using the QA Concept 20s, which are amazing in every possible way, and equally fabulous even when placed close to the wall. My only issues is that they are seriously lacking in bass extension (only go down to 65Hz and no bass is audible at 60Hz or below) and I'm contemplating if I should use them with the NAD D3020v2 as a office PC setup and find a larger speakers for the NAD D3045. I did contemplate pairing a subwoofer with the Concept 20s, but after soberly considering my elderly neighbours, whose room is only a thin layer of brick away, I think I will have to pass on this for my upstairs system.
So, I'm wondering if anyone could make a suggestion? I realise I may be forced to stuff the ports (if they are rear ported), and am hoping to find something that still sounds decent if I need to do this.
One last thing...I sort of already have an answer, as the Monitor Bronze 2s I used to own were fine at around 15cm from the back wall. I may get these again, but am open to other options as I found these a little harsh in the upper registers.
Many thanks in advance for your advice...
