    Default Stand Mount Speaker Advice

    Can anyone advise ?

    Hi all, I'm looking for a quality Stand Mount Speaker to more suit my room dimensions 5m x 6m.

    My current speakers (Kef 105/3's), although are fabulous are a bit overbearing and probably need a bigger room to breath.

    Budget would be no more that 2K (second hand price) and must include integrated or dedicated stands and in mint condition.

    Looked at a few adverts for Sonus Faber / Harbeth and Wilson Benesch but my......are they expensive!!!

    I'm sure they must be others that are good and any advice, pearls of wisdom would be appreciated.

    Wilson Benesch vs. Sonus Faber / Harbeth are chalk and cheese. What sort of sound are you looking for?

    I understand that these are completely different, I was asking what might be available that would both suit a smallish room and be punchy / dynamic with reasonable bass. (Perhaps it doesn't exist) within my budget.

    TBH, I have very little knowledge of stand mount Speakers.

    A friend recommended the PMC 5.22, but reading the reviews, I'm not impressed.

    The more compact Dynaudio speakers tend to be surprising potent, offer high quality sound and are beautifully finished.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    these are well worth looking at and the money saved would buy a nice pair of stands

    Many thanks to all for the various recommendations, it really is much appreciated. However, it's back to floor-standers as there was nothing about that convinced my otherwise.

    An opportunity has arisen to purchase a pair of Revolver Cygnis speakers (in piano black) has convinced me what music really is about.

    More money than I wanted to pay but Just Stunning....

    A happy bunny.

    Thanks again for your valued comments.
