Speaker for 11x12 room


Hi guys !

Im in process of building my stereo room there is a sketch of my room

My budget is somewhere around 2.5k Usd

there will be a piano in the 8.53 wall.

what do you think will work the best for me and where is the best placement.

I don’t listen in high volumes. Don’t have measurements for db atm.

my Amplifier is ARC75se .

im considering either floorstands or monitors leaning towards monitors unless I can get a really interesting deal that still will work in this room with floor stand.

 

thank your for your help!

A room that size with a piano?? Go with headphones or some PC Audio type nearfield active monitors. If going with monitors, get a capable micro sub like the KEF KC62 to go with it.

Edit:

Get the KEF LS50 Actives. The concentric driver should do well in nearfield applications. KEF has always saved the day for guys with closet sized rooms. You will now also have enough room to adequately treat your room (both your piano and your speakers will sound a lot better with treatment).

@deep_333 im moving the piano to another room.

I’m settled on the Sonus Faber EA2 until I’ll have the money for Guarneri. Until then I’ll treat the room and will search for the sweet spot for positioning.

 

Great!  Sonus Faber makes great speakers. Enjoy the journey, spend some time with positioning. Please let know your discoveries.

One thought I had was that even though your room is close to being square, it does open up to the kitchen therefore there will be a lessening of the affects of low frequency standing waves.

I've been shopping for a room this size. So far, to me, the Proac D2R is a great value. Seemless driver integration. Music sounds very natural. Wonderful soundstaging and imaging. Great dynamics.
