I am looking for speakers that will fit the setup in the photo below.
What's there now is a pair of Mission M30i that I got second hand for 30 euros.
For personal listening you can see the Focal Utopia in the background, so the speakers are for when I have company, or can't be bothered to put on headphones, for both music and movies/series.
Of course I'm not expecting to get to the level of the utopia with this setup, but I'd like to know how far I can get, with the size constraints and the placement directly against the cabinet.
Are there any speakers particularly suited to this setup?
The opening is 37x19x15 cm (HxDxW), I don't mind if they stick out a little. There's also room for a subwoofer potentially in the middle, with a maximum height of 17cm.
Budget wise, the very limit would be something like 1000 euros new if I can get a good second hand deal, but I suspect that that is already way more than the setup merits?
(The receiver is a Marantz nr 1602 that I just picked up second hand for 100 euros)
And a final question, I guess in principle it'd be better to raise them to the top of this opening in the cabinet, so less sound is blocked by the coffee table or couch. It would be even less stable though, depending on what I put under it. Any suggestions there?
