I have a fairly small dedicated music room so speakers were chosen for a small room, Audio Physic Sitara 25, and are placed almost exactly to the manufacturers recommendation. Even then the room has bass problems so I use 2 small subwoofers for balance not volume. So choose your speakers for the room you have.
Speaker/equipment placement
I’ve been interested in audio for quite awhile now and have become even more involved in the last few years. Relaxing in the evenings I like to browse equipment especially speakers, something Ive noticed over the years in looking at speaker listings on Agon is that maybe 1 in 10 images of speaker placements apear to be good . I know it’s tough,existing room conditions, furniture, wifes/ husbands etc , but its just sad to see a $30k pair of Wilsons pushed up against the back wall in between the console home entertainment unit. Just sayin , cue : Mahgister.
