Hi SteveThanks for your reply. It's the first one I've gotten on this forum and it is helpful. Strange that you should think the Krell FPB 200 C sounds better than the 250 Mc's - the 250 Mc's were driving the Sonus Faber Cremona's that I found too boomy. How would you describe the difference in sound? Also, as you seem to be a dealer in audio equipment, what do you make of the new Cx Krells? Should I bother with an upgrade at all? I am not running Cast cables nor a Cast preamp.
Anyway, I digress. Back to the Special 25's - as mentioned before I was also considering the Confidence C2's - while I prefer the imaging of bookshelves as I have always had them, I have always wanted to try floorstanders for their lower bass. Have you compared these speakers? I was told that they are less placement fussy owing to the DDC technology and was wary about the Special 25's until your comments about my placement being OK and about the amount of deep bass they give. Given my room size, it would also seem that you think that would work in my favour - I was initially concerned that they might not produce sufficient bass as well.
Also, to clarify my speaker placement being clear of side walls - that is true but one speaker the one with more empty space is actually placed outwards adjacent to other equipment and furniture by its side, with the 25 inches of room to the back wall - so it is actually clear of side walls but only for the space leftwards to the footprint of the speaker - if you can visualise what I am describing. This placement is not problematic with my current bookshelves which are front ported.
Once again, your feedback is appreciated.
Will definitely try the 25's at home before any $$$ is exchanged.
