My recommendation for you would be to consider getting something to replace your Krell first. Personally, I feel that is your weakest component. Of course, others will not agree with me.

I'll second this recommendation. Yes, you can do better than the Usher's, but the Krell seems like the bottleneck to me. Krell's stereo amps and not bad, just over-priced, but the KAV series leave a lot to be desired, IMHO.

Hello frends, It seems to me that there is a political, thing going on here, I'm very happy with my Krell amp, it remindes me sound wise, of the Bedini power amp I had, to drive my Shahinian Arc's, abought 15 years ago, I know everone has a opion, on the amp!!
However, My question is regarding speakers, with the above placement, I want a full range speaker, suitable for the above??
I'm not asking for a particular speaker, but a list, that I will research, I live in Aust, and the closes audio shop is 4 hours drive!!
Regards
David

Two questions. What model Ushers? There's a ton of difference between the small S-520 and the BE 718, and models in between.
Next question. What is Aust?

I have found the Vienna Acoustics floor standers to work well with non ideal placement. I have also used Magnepans as they are easy to push into a more ideal location for more critical listening. Don't own Krell, but have heard some great systems that use Krell electronics.

@Timrhu, I imagine Aust = Australia, as that is the location listed on Daveyonthecoast's info sheet.

@Daveyonthecoast, no political agenda here. Your original post simply said that you thought your speakers may be your weak link. I have not heard the Usher monitors, but I have heard their full range floor-standing speakers. They sounded pretty good to me, better than my experiences with the Krell KAV amps.

Perhaps you should have simply said that you love the rest of your system and that you know your speakers are your weak link, then those would not comment on your KAV.

As for your issue of a floor standing speaker with limited space, maybe you would be better served just adding a subwoofer. Since it would be hard to guess how different size floor standing speakers would adjust to limited space confinements. If you have to be close to a rear wall, you should look for a front ported design though.

Cheers,
John
