am looking to downgrade my system considerably due to a big lifestyle change & am considering a Selekt DSM (with power amp upgrade) and wondered if anyone can recommend ideal book shelf speakers for a Selekt DSM ..need to be modern looking & very wife friendly as will no longer have a dedicated music room..thanks

(Also going to be having a home demo of a Series 3 master & slave...)

I really love my passive akudoriks booth how they play and how they visually looks!
Would not call them bookshelf speakers though, they are pretty big and the stand have a large footprint. In the two different rooms I had mine in they also ended up 50-60cm out from back wall (wall to baffle).
Had them in our living room when we lived in a 2 room flat and they left nothing to complain about as an interior design part 🤓

Why change the kdsm and not only change amps to a stereoamp?

Maybe a pair of Fyne F700? Or if you want a design object the Franco Serblin Lignea.

Have you ever heard the Lignea? I heard the Ktema and Accordo at a show and thought they were quite good but never got the opportunity to hear them with equipment and in a room I was familiar with. Then Franco sadly passed away and I figured that was it for the company. But now I see that they have introduced a fourth model, the Accordo Essence floorstander. An article I read stated that his son in law, who worked alongside Franco on speaker design for a number of years, is running the show and producing models based on the same design goals. Certainly beautiful looking designs. I'd love to hear what they could do on the end of a KLP and Lejonklou gear some time.

Nice lookin' pair!! ;)

Not that cheap though as the retail price is £4900...

Think it includes the stands which were around £800.

Sadly no, I only recommended them as a design alternative. I just love the design and craftmanship of Serblin's speakers.
