@backwash is this a dedicated listening space
Also your room is actually pretty good dimensions wise
Recommendations for speakers in a much smaller listening room.
My wife and I are in the process of buying and moving to a new patio home. We are both pretty excited about it. The only issue is I will have a much smaller listening room. I currently have a room that is 14.5 x 38, basically one half of the basement. The new room will be 12 x 16 with 8' ceilings.(taller than pervious room at 6'8") The question is what is a good speaker for that size room that will not overload the room. I like sound stage, imaging and listenability over analytical and highly detailed. My current speakers are Tyler acoustics Woodmere II and are giant towers. I do some vinyl on a vintage Panasonic DD TT with Ortofon MC1 cart. Mostly streaming with a Lumin T2, Oppo Digital 105 for disks with a Modwright KWH 225i. Thanks for any suggestions, Allen.

@backwash did some simulations: Simulation 12x16x8 room with speakers of F3 of 40Hz with a subwoofer crossed at 80Hz but without treatment - https://imgur.com/a/GpuEXQw and Simulation 12x16x8 room with speakers of F3 of 40Hz with a subwoofer crossed at 80Hz with considerable treatment for the Rear, Left and Right walls - https://imgur.com/a/fInWfkc Note: it is without front wall, ceiling and floor treatment factored in and is still more controlled than stock.
Buying an amp, DAC, cable won't fix this so don't make that mistake of trying to purchase yourself out of a physics problem so please don't skimp on this before your setup. You have a dedicated space so do it right the first time |
