I built a pair of the Baby Labs Lance about 5 years ago and have been very happy with them, but my room has changed and they are not "working" very well now.
These are monitors for a TV at the foot of my bed. This new bedroom has hardwood floors and the back wall is a good 6' away. the rear port on the Lance makes the sound field very wide and dispersed, not great for localizing the sound as coming from the TV.
And, I've wanted to do something new anyway. I was considering the Bloodhound before moving into this new room.
I'd like to go up a "size" on the driver from the FF85wk I'd like them to go a little lower than the Lance but bass is not a priority. They need to be bookshelf sized and the design somewhat simple.
I'm open to towers as long as they will work at the foot of a bed. I'd like to stay with a thin face plate (Pluvia 7?) so I don't have to route a recess but I can hire that out if need be.
My setup is a 2.1 Breeze Audio TP116 amp (I don't remember the exact chip but it's from about 5 years ago) and a voxel sub. No preference for the driver but prefer something that does not punish poorly recorded music and music ripped at lower bit rates. The budget is somewhat open but not unlimited. I'll keep searching the forum but wanted to throw it out for suggestions.
