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.

As others mentioned it’s a decent sized room and I’d definitely at least give the Tyler’s a try before buying something else — might surprise you and a couple bass traps may be all you need if even that.  Past that, here are some available now that are musical and also excel at imaging with an expansive 3D soundstage.

Best of luck.
