Which speakers, in a 4x4.5m room?

[Rushboy]

My taste in music does not include classical or jazz!
I prefer classic rock and hard rock.
But my favourite is prog rock, like Yes, King Crimson or Pink Floyd.
Listening distance 2.5m
70cm from the sides and the back wall.

Current amplifier : Exposure 3010.

Make another poll but go down in speaker size for every model listed.

Nice sized room. Can’t really go wrong with ATC.

 

[TheFlash]

My room is about that size. I have active ATC SCM40A and they could not be considered too much for the room. Still make me smile broadly

Same size room as mine,Atc scm40 for me,nice balance for the size of the room imo.

I’m a rocker as well so I voted Proac D2 (with the soft dome tweeters !) because it will be a very good match with your amp (I have a 21 pre with a dual mono 4) and this will rock the place without being extra analytical to make your ears bleed.
I would recommend getting two half round bass traps in the back corners of your listening room (facing you) and you will enjoy I’m sure.
Those D2 are not bass shy in a small to medium size room giving some 36 Hz bass notes effortlessly.

I’d second the scm40

Like these too, I was surprised how room friendly these can be.

As someone who has ATCs I have gone for the 19s but if money stretches further a pair of SCM20s new or secondhand would be a step up.

 

[Lurch]

These work very well in my 3.8x4 room with suspended wood floors.

As did Usher Dancer mini2 DMD and ML Summits.

Do you operate the D2 in bi-wiring?

I don’t own them anymore but no, single wiring.

I needed a bit more bass depth and emphasis so I got myself some custom made isobaric monitors instead.

One of the best systems I’ve ever heard was with tannoy grf memory 15” in 4x4

Similar size room to my listening area. A pair of PMC Twenty5 21i fill it more than enough.

I'm selling some Harbeth SHL5 Plus with stands, they may work. I have them in a 4.5 x 6 room but only sit 3m back and they work well.
