If you plan to listen at low volume levels, high sensitivity speakers make sense but the trade-off is that it's very difficult to get low bass out of a high sensitivity speaker. Not impossible, but a real challenge to the designer. This is one reason why people with these types of speakers utilize subwoofers. Finding a speaker that is aesthetically pleasing, sensitive, has a small footprint and decent bass could be a problem. Good luck!
Speakers for 2nd System!
Folks, I’m putting together 2nd system in a small room. This room doubles up as home office space. The dimensions are 12’ D x 11’ W x 8’ H.
I am open to recommendations for bookshelves or floor standers with a small footprint. I won’t be adding subs due to limited space. High efficiency 96db and above speakers are preferred.
The system components so far,
Leben CS600X - 28-32W
Technics SL - 1200M7B with Hana ML
Softone Model 4 Phono
Raysonic CD128
Cables - Sternklang (ribbon) IC and Speaker with HIJIRI “Nagomi” Power Cords.
Budget, I would like to stay under $5k but wouldn’t mind going over for something exemplary. Not interested in DIY projects or ugly stuff - aesthetics and high performance are equally important..lol!
Thank you!
