Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’)


Open concept listening space with speakers on one short wall and kitchen at the other end.  Furniture about fifteen feet from speakers.  I assume I'll need large speakers and am considering Klipsch Cornwalls as well as Tannoy Ardens, but open to suggestions.  I also assume standmounts are too small for the space.  I should mention I mostly listen at low to moderate sound levels, occasionally cranking it if the wife is out.   Thanks for any input.

One other option, sort of off the beaten path is the Classic Audio Reproductions line.

We've done ballrooms with the Classic Audio Loudspeakers T-1 and T-3. With that room size using those speakers I'd recommend 100 watts if you plan to crank it up. That would be true of any of the Tannoys as well. If you have a Klipsh corner horn set you might get by with 20-30 watts. That's a big room- you don't want to push the amp hard if you want the best sound- it makes a difference!
