Full Range Speakers for a Small Listening Room


Do they exist? I listen primarily to classical music in a small dedicated listening room. The speakers must go low. The dimensions are 11 ft wide by 16 ft deep. I currently sit 9 feet from the speakers. My budget would be limited to $10k. Assume I do not have any amplifier restriction. I would be willing to re-do amplification if necessary. I would build a new system based around the speakers. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Explore the Silverline Audio Sonata Mk111.

Just bought a pair here in Australia.

You can get them even cheaper in the USA as there are some audiogon members who have them up for sale.

My room is 21 L X 16 W X 8 1/2 H, my listening position is 11 feet back and the speakers are approx 3m apart and 120cm from the rear wall.

I don't even bother to turn on the REL sub anymore. I run them with a Pathos TT integrated 15Wpc amp.

Hi Tvad,

My musical taste varies from classical, jazz, some electronic etc. I have not explored elaborate organ pieces, which seem to be highlighted as a true measure of a speakers full range capability. The Sonata 111 seems to be a good floor standing "all rounder" if one did not want a standmount subwoofer combo.

Having said this, the REL does add a sliver to the depth of the soundstage when it is brought into play.

Was considering the Zu product line (both Def's and Druids) prior to my recent purchase of the Sonatas.
