Would sincerely appreciate any recommendations and advice from the community for a system for a listening room in a new home. Here are the parameters:
- listen mainly to classic rock from the '70s and '80s and enjoy a good, deep bass
- room measures 15' W (along wall where components/speakers will be placed) x 14' L x 9' H
- room has wood floors, glass on 3 sides and stone on the 4th side
- fabric window shades are present on 2 of the glass sides
- built-in wood album display built into one of the glass sides
- want the ability to both spin vinyl and stream
- budget up to $50k
After auditioning the MBL 116, N31 and N51, I was about to pull the trigger but am wondering if an omni would be the best choice for a room with these characteristics and my listening preferences? Unfortunately, I am unable to audition these components in my room. Would monitors work best or full-range floor standers? I do appreciate a good, deep bass. Have to admit this is a very confusing and subjective process, yet I am wondering if anyone who has faced the same set of parameters has any thoughts? Many thanks for any tips and advice you would be willing to offer. Very much appreciated.
