GM ☕️from Toronto. Placement and room treatment are the biggest challenges to getting ANY speakers to give you a better performance…however,you’re going to probably need (want) a sub… Then if you’re going the high end route..Wilson and their custom set up ..work with the client’s living space (with minimal treatment) ..but you’re paying for it. Great vide 👍
Bookshelf speakers are generally better for imaging and soundstage…but they bring their own issues …not to forget ..the speakers should have a stand that places the tweeter at the listener positions ear level.
In my opinion and having electrostatic speakers, definitively needs a subwoofer. I have an old pair of Acoustat and they sound superb but with a powered 10" sub, it really makes overall sound much better 😊
