There are some very good recommendations already made here. At your preferred listening levels it will be very hard for any pair of floorstanders to get you a smooth response and not sound thin. I would strongly consider adding a pair of subwoofers. This will really open up the list of speakers that will work in the space and maybe allow you to get a speaker that you love the sound of that otherwise wouldn't work. Good luck and cheers.
Confused with size of speaker to get when placed along long wall in large room
I have a large open living space approximately 22’ deep x 50’ long x 13’ high. A combined space arranged from left to right with the living room, dining room, and kitchen. I am confused as to what size speakers I should be looking at. The listening area in the living room, is about a third of the entire space, approx. 22’ deep x 16’ long x 13’ high, open on the right to the dining area and kitchen.
My question is, is my listening room considered 22’ x 16’ x 13’, or is it 22’ x 50’ x 13’?
I currently have Klipsch Cornwall speakers setup in a 3’ x 12’ alcove in the living area, along the long 50’ wall. While happy with the Cornwalls, I want to try new non-horn speakers. The Cornwalls are about 10’ apart, and 10’ from the listening position. I don’t often listen at loud volumes. Mostly low 70’s dB.
The sidewall on the left is mostly glass, but damped by thick drapes. The sidewall on the right I guess would be practically non-existent, being so open.
My gut tells me that speakers like the Perlisten s7t, ProAc K8, Magico A5, are the correct size. Something like an Audio Note AN-E sp, or Gershman Grand Avant Garde, are too small.
Thanks for any insight in advance.
