II can’t comment on the best, only what I have tried and what I have now. I have a relatively small listeningroom (11.5’x15’) and purchased a used pair of Wilson Audio Sophia 2s. Too big for the room and the sound wasn’t to my liking. I then tried KEF LS50s augmented with a subwoofer. I liked the sound, but felt I was missing out on treble and mid bass.
I just got a great deal on a brand new pair of Focal Sopra 1s and really like what I’m hearing. I understand they have a long break in period, but so far to my old ears they sound great. I listened to KEF Reference 1s and didn’t like them. I’m sure the way they were setup by the dealer, and the wide open space they were setup in didn’t help at all.
I’m not an audiophile mainly because I don’t know what that means, but I’m an Audio enthusiast and I know what I like when I hear it. I am very much enjoying the Sopras.
Driving them with a Classe Sigma 2200i integrated, Aurender N100H, PS Audio Directstream DAC and multiple cables from a sweat shop in China.
Happy speaker hunting!
