Then you are flexible and that in itself opens up possibilities for choosing speakers. Listening level, volyme is one of the decisive factors in the choice of speakers and amplifier (the level of power).
Fascinating how much more amp power is needed if you double the listening distance but want the same sound level.
"We get a sound level drop of 6 dB per doubling of distance." 6 dB is a lot.

Here, if you are curious, you can experiment:
Feel free to use this calculator. Add sensitivity to the speaker and then tell which effect you have chosen and why. Weigh in that you want some headroom. http://www.mh-audio.nl/Calculators/REAP.html You can select music from this list. Or something else, but in that case tell us how you...

I wonder , Dali Zensor 1 speakers wall mounted you say. But they have the port mounted on the back. It should, partly because of your wall which provides bass support in itself and port on the back give a real boost in the bass area. At least 6 dB compared to if you have them placed some distance from the back wall.
Your Dali Zensor 1 has a 5 dB boost in the 8 kHz-10 kHz range. 5 dB is a lot and audible. If you like it, maybe you're a treble junkie? Something for you to think about if you are considering new speakers. Others like an oppositely sloping FR. Something that you might not like at all. Like this:
Your Dali Zensor 1 looks like this:
So think about it if someone say that the speakers measure really well that they can mean that curve that Floyd E Toole came up with that 21 people liked. Maybe you wouldn't be one of them 21, on the contrary?
Sidebar 3: Measurements I used DRA Labs' MLSSA system and a calibrated DPA 4006 microphone to measure the DALI Zensor 1's frequency response in the farfield; and an Earthworks QTC-40, with its small, ¼" capsule, for the nearfield responses. (The small capsule doesn't interfere with the airflow.)

My tip, try moving your Dalis around and also try adjusting your FR via EQ. Maybe you will like some placement better than the one you have now with them on your wall? You might find an EQ setting that you really like.
Fixing the room acoustics can do wonder for the sound, but that might be a topic for another thread.
