Sjofn the Clue v. Fritz Carbon 7 or other Fritz

Don't know the Clue. Fritzspeakers are excellent, and Fritz is a nice and helpful guy whom you might give a call.

Bur Kenrick is right. Your placement constraint is very significant, and you should look at "near wall specific" designs such as North Creek (which are also excellent, and actually do it with rear ports). Montana's are another excellent brand that I had good luck with near wall, but they are largish (though there's a pair of one of their smaller designs on here, the Spi, that might work). There have been numerous threads on this, where you can get lots of suggestions.

Will you be able to have curtains over the glass walls?

Sjofn The Clue = $1000/pair
Fritz Carbon 7 = $1800/pair
Emerald Physics MS3 = $3000/pair

what price range are you looking for at the end ?

I've heard the clue speakers and they're quite good for the price. I think they excel at Rock, Pop, Electronic etc. And Lars at Sjofn is just a blast to talk to. Spent a couple hours on the phone with him talking about speakers, the Seattle music scene, Jazz, Nordic Jazz and completely off topic subjects.

Instead of the usual flamenco guitar, Diane Krall, they play at audio shows ad nauseum, he plays Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Metallica.

Even sent me CD's to listen to free of charge without purchasing anything from him!

If you live in the VA/DC/MD area he has a fantastic rep that has a whole line of bang for the buck audiophile products (including The Clue) he'll haul to your home to listen to in your setup.

His name's Mark and email is mark@wellpleasedav.com. He traveled to my home twice already (an hour each way) just to bring various gear to listen to. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Thanks for the suggestions. On price, would like to be under $1000, but can do more if they will work in this space.

J - no curtains possible since this is commercial space and local fire codes prevent it. I'll re-check for other threads.

Fritz is maybe nice guy but that is not reason you should buy
Carbon 7 speakers. BASS!!! People, what is wrong with you.
Bring the Mariachi band in your room and then you will have the bass. Music is not the bass! Let's talk about mids, highs,
full spectrum. Carbon 7 simply can not play music if is there no bass. For the music with the bass you must move Carbon 7
away from the wall at least 5 feet or they will sound, actually they will not sound at all. If you are looking for the speakers that will PLAY music look Focals or Harbets
