Setup/gear advice needed
The front room at my new house has a large built in on the wall I have to use for my setup. What type of speakers/configuration should I be looking for to maximize the sound quality with this setup requirement? I have a baby who will be walking soon so towers or stands out in the room are a no go. The shelf is fairly deep, so I can likely pull the speakers forward somewhat so they aren’t smack against the wall.
I am trying some Heresy 1’s my dad wasn’t using but I’m not wild about the sound. I will need a new amp anyway so I’ll probably get that first and test them again since this amp is quite old and likely not doing them any favors.
Gear recommendations welcome. Total budget for speakers and amp (and possibly subwoofer) is $1.5-2k. I like speakers with clarity as well as tight bass. My turntable is a pro-ject debut carbon evo with the Sumiko Ranier. I was previously using powered speakers that I’d like to move on from.
Also fyi I will be moving the seats to the correct position for listening and hanging curtains soon.
