Help Choosing Speakers

@mtrot thanks for the pic, they are impressive towers for sure!

@bcgator yes, room is 11' W x 12' 4" L x 10' H.

@timlub definitely a little more than I originally wanted to spend, but this is a lifetime purchase and I don't want to be penny-wise and pound-foolish.

There is a great deal of research still to be done before I pull the trigger for sure. I do love the voicing of the Decware MiniTorii, but it does limit my speaker options for sure.

I am just a little turned off by most consumer tower speakers, and the boutique HiFi audio is for sure out of my price range. I think that is why Decware gear sits so well in my eyes, great performance:value ratio in my opinion.

That said, where we are. Am I ludicrous for looking at the Signature SEs for this room? Doug over @ Legacy said they would be a good fit for the room, since they are sealed they can be put fairly close to the rear well.

@tls49 I have looked at the Zu's quite a bit, actually I was very close to pulling the trigger on the Zu Omen Mk.II towers right when I started looking for my refresh a few months ago.

I have to say, the amount of Zu Audio gear for sale on A'gon does concern me a little.

"Am I ludicrous for looking at the Signature SEs for this room? Doug over @ Legacy said they would be a good fit for the room, since they are sealed they can be put fairly close to the rear well."

Ron, maybe Doug mentioned it, but the Signature SE do include a switch on the back, by which you can reduce the bass, I think by 2dB, in case the bass loads the room up too much. 

@hifiron   I have heard the Signature SE with 600 watts of Coda on them. Even with that, they are velvety smooth, but still detailed.... You have a ton of flexibility with those..

I have the mini torii and i use Reference 3A de Capo i's

92db eff, fairly flat, lively, detailed

now it is not super loud in my 12x20ft room open on the sides but it puts out some sound
