Also Adam Audio TV5 or TV7

I have TV5’s. I’ve not been that impressed. 

I find them quite bass heavy. Even when adjusted. 

Again useful to know. I am particularly concerned with any speakers being too bassy in a small confined room when placed close to rear wall.

Sure. I use them in my cellar. It’s a small room, 3m x 4m. With no treatment at all. 

I have them in the corner of the room, along one wall, on stands (fixed at head height) and direct them at me (I sit in the middle of the room about 1.5-2m away). 

Even with the high frequency boosted and the lows cut, they still sound bass heavy to me. 

I would say they are more suited to dance music than using them for guitar. 

I tend to use a set of KRK KNS 8400 headphones, which sound much better (flatter with way less bass).

Sounds like they wouldn’t suit my circumstances.
