I have been really enjoying my Rega RS5s for some time now but following some major upgrades to my amp I'm thinking about stepping up with speakers.

I'm looking for floorstanders that can sit close to the back wall and have an excellent finish.

I love the look of the Dali Hellicon 400s but maybe they wont be so good so close to the wall.

Any suggestions as to what to look out for with a budget up to £2K?

The Regas are great speakers, enjoyed a pair of RS3’s in my system.

If buying new then Reiver Acoustics ‘Eddingdale’ speakers, any day of the week.
i have the Mark I’s, and a friend has Mk Ii’s.
Bespoke floorstanders built to your chosen finish, would be £10k if sold commercially.
Best bang for buck speakerwise I can think of.

My mate put a thread up about his here on AOS, good info and pictures.
