Listened to the new model stand mounted Vienna Acoustic “Hayden” speakers last week in a dealers large room. I was surprised at their performance as far as musicality and the range they projected. I heard a previous Hayden model a few years ago and these are a definite step forward in sound quality. Worth an audition for a room your size.
Am I Better Off With Limited Low Frequency Speaker In A Small Room?
In my 12'x12'x11' room, am I better off with limited low frequency speakers, such as those which only extend down to 40-50hz, or will the mere introduction of a speaker that extends down to 35hz be potential for trouble (The extent of my knowledge is that lower frequencies need larger spaces to truly breathe, and the wavelength goes up exponentially). My listening space is my living room, and there's not a lot of space for room treament. I'm auditioning a single GIK Soffit bass trap. I'm not sure how much it will help.
