Speakers least affected by room acoustics

12 x 20 with speakers on the long wall

The Spatial speakers look interesting. I talked to Walter Lieberman and he recommended his Emerald Physic’s as they are open baffle too

Thank you everyone. All info and opinions much appreciated.

All you cave dwelling men out there listen up! I am an architect and my daughter is an international designer. When you design and build multi million dollar homes and office buildings, you don’t want crap hanging from the ceiling and sticking out from the walls. I know for most of the “ deep state” in this hobby, form follows function. I agree 1000%!! However, clients who want perfect aesthetics refuse to clutter up their costly design statements. I really wanted to see if there were any breakthroughs in the acoustic field. I am so grateful for the Spatial  and Larsen recommendations.

Guys, i’ve been an audiophile since I started dating my husband in 1963 . At first it was “ enforced” listening, finally becoming voluntary after the kids grew up. We have been through Altec Lansing,double Advents, Maggie’s , quad 57’s (re done), Bud Fried’s supermonitors, Harold Beveridge’s big white electrostatics, etc etc....HH Scott, Avery Fisher, Saul Marantz, Rek -O-Kit ,the real Harmon Kardon,tubes, stacks of audio magazines and enough vinyl and turntables to fill a radio station back in the day. I went on here specifically to find out if we could decently ( sound wise) get around visible acoustic treatments. I have been told by many personally that echo is only treatable physically and not electronically, therefore I thought I’d ask all the most dedicated hobbyists here on Audiogon. I will leave y’all now. BTW, my husband ( the original audiophile in our family) has been on Audiogon since about 2005. Vinyl rules until digital can REALLY SOUND ANALOG......you guys were so so helpful... okay, okay, I will admit I have learned a lot of things from Geofkait and Squires, it’s just that for all of us, sarcasm without the smile or wink is hard to see unless we already knew each other. Best to all!!

Very helpful.. Have wool carpet. So a wool wall covering will help also. This helps both aesthetics and science to cooperate. Thank you !
