Close to wall speakers...

[hifinutt]

ah got it . richer sounds do some fantastic wall mounted speakers from monitor audio too

 

[FuzzyEdges]

Dynaudio audience 42W,  excellent wall mounts that work well with Naim, you should be able to find a mint pair for under £200 & spend the rest on new curtains :minikev:

Decorating first, but you need music when painting.

You can't get closer than actually on the wall and PMC Wafer's do just that. Slim, discrete and an excellent soundstage.

anyone heard the larsen speakers recently ? pretty ugly i think but i rather like this video 

 

[moo-fi]

I heard them at various Hi-Fi shows and they do seem to work rather well.  Fit and finish is not the greatest, but certainly worth seeking a pair out to listen too.

I like the room looks cosy but I can see your problem. Sealed or front ported is usually your best option. Wall mounted being a safe bet.

But these work quite well in corners and close to walls



 

Sorry couldnt resist But seriously been in smaller rooms than that and its very satisfying with great hifi. Now I tell you what would really work a treat with your Naim !! It be number 1 on my list if I was there!

Dont just take my word for it, do a google images search for naim / p3esr. They cant all be wrong, especially in smaller spaces.

FFS just buy some Larsen, NVA Cubes, Shaininian's and try them. Either you'll like what they do or you won't. The shite above just forget and try for yourself.

Charming. And what exactly are you referring to as being shite ? I'm interested.

See above

Nola Boxers, rear ported but that doesn't prevent them being close to a wall.

I may be late here, but thought to add this to the suggestions.  There may be critisism for this suggestion but I remember experimenting years ago with wall proximities on certain loudspeakers, including the no-go area of corners, just to see what variables occurred, (this was a long time ago and early on in my days with messing around with equipment), but if having the speakers hard against the wall and inverting the phase of both speakers, which does the inevitable with the diaphragms, it alleviated the cancellation effect with the bass and brought about more depth to the soundstage.  However, this was with a pair of infinite baffle Celestion Ditton 44 enclosures on stands.  Playing across the width in what looks like a pretty safe room, free of highly resonant surfaces or structure should rein-in the strong bass your set-up (I imagine) probably produces in less than ideal circumstances, but this simple experiment may be worth trying once you have adjusted to the sound with the system in it's standard set-up first.

     There is always this type of thing, of which there are several. I have no recommendations regarding these devices but they're reportedly very good at taming the dreaded Room Boom of Doom.

Just try as many as you can to see how they perform in situ .. ideally sealed boxes or if they vent make shure they DO NOT vent out of the back of the loudspeaker    .. I would be tempted to get a pair of JR 149s and mount them on shelves  

 

[Aikidoka]

If you have a chance try the Audiosmile Kensai, I bought mine second hand ones and they are superb (forward ported).

 

[hifinutt]

don`t know if you are sorted but a pair of larsens 6 on eBay finishing I 1 hour at under 500 quid

[hifinutt]

gosh , nearly pulled the plug on those larsens , they do sound interesting . someone got a bargain at 821 quid !!!! i year old 

 

[parcelmonkey]

I went in too cheap, was hoping for a billy bargain at £666! Someone should be happy with their purchase.

It's got me interested more now, always the same when you weren't successful and have the bit between your teeth so will be booking a listening session after Xmas for the 8's I feel at the Audio Barn...

I need to find out about their imaging issues to see if it bothers me too much.

 

[hifinutt]

yes someone got a bargain, maybe they have a pair of 8`s to sell sometime . worth watching out for 

look forward to the review when you have heard them
