I'm looking to upgrade from my htib sub/sat system... For obvious reasons I would like to maximize performance, in respect to audio quality. I like details, clarity, the ability to distinguish individual instruments. We mostly listen to stereo music. Infact the tv rarely turns on. But when it does, we'll watch movies and would still enjoy good performance.
My question is, what type of "speaker design" would be *best* suited for corner, near wall/glass placement. I can also only get about 6 feet between the speakers. See photos.
For example I would imagine dipole speakers such as Martin Logan's would be a poor choice because the rear fired waves would collect and bounce everywhere. Even though unfortunately this would be, imo, the most aesthetic option to reduce the look of clutter.
I was thinking maybe a horn fired tweeter like the Klipsch would be a better option due to the controlled dispersion of high frequencies. Maybe a slight toe in would help keep the highs off the wall a little.
Then there's the question of bookshelves or floorstanding. I'm running subs regardless, but I'm thinking the space would just simply be too tight for floorstanding. Even though the length and width tends to be the same for bookshelves... So I guess what difference does it make?
I guess my point is, if I'm going to upgrade. I want to know I did. I want louder, cleaner, better. But I don't want to put big expensive speakers there and end up with a poorer sounding system due to poor placement and other conditions.
