SPEAKERS FOR MY NEW LISTENING ROOM


My listening room is 27x19.5 with a cathedrial ceiling to a 16 foot height. The peak runs perpendicular to the 27 foot wall . I will be using my marantz 2500 ( 250 w.p.c. at 8 ohms 330 w.p.c. at 4 ohms ). I like some oldies , classical, jazz, and occasionally some loud house shaking rock and roll . Price range 2000-4000 dollars . Prefer tight, well defined bass , with the ability to hear the difference between the bass drum and the bass guitar and not having to worry about frying a driver or if I do, having the availability of purchasing a replacement driver without taking out a second mortage . There is a possibility of installing a wood tongue and groove ceiling in the near future. OK you Gurus start your engines . Thanks a bunch !FBI.

CARL, HOW DOES ONE DECIDE UPON ACOUSTIC TREATMENTS ? DO I NEED AN AUDIO SWEEP GENERATOR AND A SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL METER TO TEST VARIOUS PLACES IN MY ROOM FOR HOT SPOTS? ELDRAGON AND 3141510 , I WILL GIVE THESE SELECTIONS CAREFUL CONSIERATION ,THANK YOU . ANY ONE ELSE ?
Carl, what damping material or product are you refering to and are full round traps a DIY items or only manufactured items . If DIY, do you have print details and parts list to build? Dummy it up for me, 10-Q. FBI.
So experimenting with room decor and various soft objects placed in the room , in specific places , may absorb unwanted reflections and detrimental standing bass waves ? If this is the goal of production room tweaks and satisfactory results are obtained with eye pleasing devices ( ficus trees or rice paper folding panels ) , this could could be a two fold benefit . #1 sonic improvment and #2 for most other people , WAF or HAF , whichever the case may be . Has anyone listened to the vmps RM2's ? Likes , dislikes , or manufacture dissatisfaction ? This is a great web site chat page ! United we stand , Divided we fall .FBI
