Looking for suggestions on an upgrade from my current speakers the Andrew Jones Pioneer Bs22. Room size is 13'x10'x8' and the speakers are being used nearfield on a desk about 3 feet from the listening position.
Current setup:
Denon X1300W
HSU VTF-2 MK5
Pioneer Bs22
I have the speakers crossed over at 80hz currently. Bass is great with the HSU subwoofer but the mids/highs are definitely lacking. Dialog is hard to make out during movies with the current speakers without making constant adjustments to the volume (not sure if there's a setting in the AVR that might help me here?)
Budget is ~$300 for new bookshelf speakers but I'm willing to spend $400 if the upgrade is substantial enough over my pioneers. Speakers will be used for a mix of both music and home theater. Currently leaning towards front-ported speakers as the rear of the speakers are placed about 4 inches from the wall, not sure that matters as much though since they're being crossed-over.
Right now I'm seriously considering the Kef Q100 due to the ongoing sale, but I'd appreciate any recommendations anyone might have for me!
