Hey everyone,
I have a 5.1 system with Kef Q950 fronts, Q650C center, Svs PB2000 pro sub and Q150 satellites. Due to the configuration of our room, the Q150 end up sitting very close to our heads (1 meter) and I am unhappy in the results: the sound is very focused, making it distracting, and a bit brighter than neutral. I ended up turning them off axis to reduce those issues, but I am wondering if other speakers would be better for such nearfield work.
A quick look around and I have spotted the Polk ES10-15-20, or the Whaferdale Diamond 12.0 or 12.1. Any experience with these speakers for nearfield use? Or a better recommendation?
