Hi,
I'll make it quick: a few years ago, I basically gave away/sold/stored my classic hifi components (nothing special, an old Rotel amp, pretty floorstanders, etc.), and bought, as a bit of an experiment at the time, a pair of Neumann KH120s, an RME ADI-DAC 2, and never really looked back. I am now listening at approximately 6 feet from the Neumanns in my "nearfield corner". I'll maybe add a sub, maybe put them into another room, but I am definitely going to keep them. Suffice to say, I am quite happy with them.
That said, having read a lot in this forum lately (thanks to the many contributions of many of you, thank you all for that!) about near, mid- and farfield, wide dispersion vs narrow dispersion, etc., I wonder if should not also look for something entirely different, as an alternative, in a separate room.
So, if I basically wanted a bit of the opposite of what I have, namely, not nearfield monitors, but speakers with sound to "fill the room", and to enjoy from the sofa, maybe 14 feet away from where the speakers stand, but *with the same quality, basically* as the Neumanns, what would you lot recommend?
Active speakers preferred, budget of maybe 4.000,- EUR, but do not hesitate to recommend me the MasterBlaster 2000 for 100k, if only for edcuational purposes, if it's the only thing that fits the bill.
Thanks!
