TL;DR - Please help me choose a floor stander for under 1000 euro a pair. DIY is a possibility.
So, after searching the internet, this forum and whatever else I could come up with in my quest to get the best possible speakers within my budget - I am now more confused than ever.
Please help me out.
I have a living room that is a bit over 25 m^2 (around 270 square feet) and with around 3 meters to the ceiling. In this living room there is a TV with truly shit sound, as well as a big ass table where on occasion guests arrive to have dinner and be force fed whatever music I have recently fallen in love with. Also from time to time I will sit down and listen to music, with an insane mix of genres within one sitting.
Now I want to get a sound system for this living room and I would like to start with speakers before deciding on the rest.
Total price here in Europe should not be over 1000 euro for a pair.
Im fan of floorstanders (out of old habit more than any scientific reasons).
I really love to hear what people are saying in movies.
I also like clear, powerful and distinct bass in music; but my neighbors don't appreciate their windows shattering whenever Thanos blows something up.
Oh, DIY could be an option if there are good kits - I have the tools (and skills) for the cabinets but suck at soldering.
Speakers that are available in White or Oak finish get a gold star. Two gold stars if they have some nice, non boxy details (I love the Heissman Acoustics angled fronts).
So far my main contenders are
Triangle Borea BR08 - Never heard them live, just found out about them on this forum.
Dali Oberon (5 or 7) - I know they get a bit of hate around here, but I always liked the Dali speakers I had the chance to listen to (and they are quite inexpensive around here).
Heissman DXT-Mon Stand - I love the look but I also feel like two drivers seems like at least one to little.
Considering I just spent two years living out of a van with this as my only sound system I really do need an upgrade. I'm sure there are a bunch of other awesome options that I don't even know about yet, please enlighten me!
