Speakers for small rooms.

[Confused]

I thought there was a thread for this but it's disappeared! Ok so it's of little interest to those with vast expanses in which to site your Wilson Sashas and Dali Epicons but some of us do not have listening areas of Ponderosa proportions. I would be very interested to hear what speakers Devialet owners are using successfully in confined spaces - say 3 x 4 metres or thereabouts. 

I have recently moved my system to such a room and found my PMC Fact 8's excessive and much too forward. I have been using KEF LS 50's for a couple of weeks and have been hugely impressed. My only problem is that these are by far the cheapest component in my system. Surely I should be using something more expensive!  

The strange thing is, I think I could be quite happy with this set up. I am actually enjoying the music a lot on this smaller scale. I use SAM at 20% which really expands the bass output.

Try the new KEF Reference 1's for that small speaker joy without worrying that you haven't hammered you bank account enough.   

If you still find an annoying amount of cash left, there's always the Magico Q1's.

Joking apart, I am a bit of a fan of the LS50's, in fact I'm sure if they stared off at twice the list price, they would quite possibly have been taken even more seriously.  Without all the usually hifi SQ cliches, they are quite simply a really good listen.
