I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage
I have heard it half a dozen times at home, small room, Primaluna HP Integrated or a Rogue Atlas Magnum II and RP-1 Pre and believe it or not a pair of close to 30 year old Paradigm Export Monitors.
The experience I had, I can only describe as sitting in an aquarium when the litlle rectangular glass aquarium was filled with liquid engulfing you from all directions with no awareness of the speaker boxes...it was just perfect!
The room is approximately 12 x 13 x 9, small bedroom converted to a den!
So the question is what speakers does everyone recommend to provide the same experience?? I have a budget of $2000 for the next little babies so let’s not talk about Focal uber expensive stand mounts at $9500 thank you!
Monitor not floor standers and the Primaluna is gone, it’s all Rogue And yes, I would consider a pair of floor standers that are not to intrusive.

As much as I love conventional speakers, no box is going to fill a room with a huge 3D soundstage like a good omnidirectional or bidirectional speaker. For a room that small I would consider the smallest Ohm Walsh, the Larsen 4s or maybe a pair of cute little Neat Iota Alphas. Also a pair of used Spatial M4s would work if you could pull them away from the wall two or three feet. |
The best way to get 3D sound is to use a 5 channel system. RSL Speakers 5.1 Speaker Package $999 Add a second Speedwoofer S10 $399 Yamaha RX-V385 5.1 4K Ultra HD AVR w/Bluetooth $280 Used DENON DBP-1611UD Universal player SACD Blu Ray DVD A $120 With the extra $200 you can pick up about perhaps 10 pretty decent multi channel discs Dire Straits Brothers in Arms SACD $15 Pink Floyd / The Dark Side Of The Moon SACD $15... https://www.superdeluxeedition.com/feature/top-10-sacds-you-can-afford-to-buy/ A side benefit is that as speaker count goes up, speaker deficiencies are less noticeable. You could easily substitute an older higher quality 5.1 AVR if you do not need bluetooth, etc, elac speakers, etc. |
