that is sm. rm for such a setup. I really like the focal speakers
and have them on a short list of balanced truly hifi speakers.
the ones I heard were not bright on top. I forget the model but
they had two 6" drivers and one tweeter. I am not a fan of the harbeths.many things to try before you move on. remember there is no free lunch in audio. if you go high sensitivity and low power you might very well miss the dynamics and control your current setup has. You have good speakers and amps, some of the best. Usually very sensitive speakers are
not as smooth and flat as well damped (like the sandwich woofer you have).
They seldom go as low either.first thing is to treat the hell out of your walls and ceiling. do the first reflection points but also have absorbtion panels in between the speakers and behind your head. this will cost very little compared to new equipment. I have upgraded equipment many times only to find that the room was the problem. Play recorded music as you install your panels. I bet you will hear a great improvement with each panel you install. Stop when the sound becomes dull. With a low powered system one often cannot damp the room enough because it sucks power from the system.
you might try some socks or bungs in your speaker ports. this could really help in a sm. room.
it is very easy and cheap to insert a resistor in the speaker cable.
this mimics a tube amp. Try it!perhaps you could get a preamp that allows for different loads on your cartridge. you should be able to knock down the top this way.
look at the crossovers on your speakers. if there is a resistor in front of the tweeter curcuit you could change that out for a slightly bigger one. there should be a 7 w 1.8ohm resistor before the tweeter. You could change that out for a 2.5 or 3, once again for almost no cost. Don't like?
change it back. this is completely legitimate in order to match your amp to your speakers, ears, source, and room.good luck. let us know!
