have you said yet what the 'no good' speakers are and why 'no good'? Knowing what sound you might like will help I'd think?

Well, the OP was looking for loudspeaker advice, not on how to throw money out the window...
I was surprised about your comment re the TJL's though, as they're very good, and certainly need no subs.
I've never tried the Kef 104/2 (I would like to when I have a bigger room to play with) but IIRC a number of people have commented here and elsewhere that they need a bit of room away from walls to breathe.
I currently have a similar sized room to you and find Shahinian Arcs work pretty well. They have a pretty wide sweet-spot, albeit for different reasons than Kef or Tannoy concentric type speakers.
A little space, yes - I had them in an 8 x 10 room in the past, and it was a bit of a squeeze, but they did well... God I miss 'em. Perhaps better to move on, in case the toxic fog of nostalgia has rotted my memory of shortfalls and difficulties...
lord no, that was in the bad old days, 15 years back. I made the landlord take the fireplace out to make room for the audio rack, the recesses either side of the chimney breast may have helped some.Interesting that you got them to work well by the sounds of it. Was that using DSP/Dirac to tailor them to the room?
