Look at the Horn Shoppe: The Horn & The Cube bass augmenter.
speakers for 15' by 12' listening room?
Hello,
I know sound is subjective and the best way to decide is to listen to the equipment but I 'd like some input on speakers.
I live in a small apartment, my listening room is 15' by 12' and I don't crank up the volume too much.
My current speakers are Kef 104.2 ( they sound Amazing but are too big and the bass can be too much). I also have some Rogers LS3/5a in smaller bedroom and those are perfect there.
My stereo equipment consists of a CD Player Rega Jupiter, a Linn 5103 Preamp, 1 Linn Klout amp, 1 integrated amp VTL iT85 and 1 Linn Chakra amp (I switch amps depending on mood and music).
Ultimately, I would like to find a pair of compact speakers that don't need to be in the center of the room to sound good (the closer to the wall the better).
I listen to many different styles but mostly Jazz, Vocals, and Electronica.
The sound I'm looking for is non fatiguing like the LS3/5a but more full range like the Kef. Warm, dynamic and detailed even at low listening levels would be great!
Look & sizewise, I like Totem (Aro, Staff, Hawk and Model 1), Spendor S5e, Harbeth, (can't remember which 2 ways monitor), and Gallo reference 3.1.
I haven't heard any of them, I would rather not having to break the speakers in and since my budget is tight, I am looking at second hand market.
Any advice and recommendation will be highly appreciated, many thanks!
