Thanks everyone for the response. Lots of great info here. I have reached out to MBL to organize a demo & am also going to check-out Ohm speakers next week. I hadn’t thought about adding sub-woofers. Question, if I were to add 4 sub-woofers, how would that work? Is there a pre-amp that could handle 4 sub-woofers?
Recommend speakers for a large living room
Hi, I am moving to a new apartment with a large living room (38" x 23", plus a dining area & kitchen). I am planning to have 2 different sitting areas given the size. Here is a picture of the floor-plan: https://ibb.co/J5szvj9
Everything is wood floors except on the blue squares where I plan to put carpet. I’ve been thinking of using omni-directional speakers (German Physiks Borderland) given the area is large and there are multiple listening locations. But I’d like to get some recommendations & also some ideas of where it would be best to place the speakers - so far my idea is to put them on the red circles.
My budget for speakers is ~$50,000.

Question, if I were to add 4 sub-woofers, how would that work? Is there a pre-amp that could handle 4 sub-woofers? You may want to consider speaking with Duke (Audiokenesis). He is a well respected speaker designer and the first to offer a consumer distributed bass array. In regard to adding four subwoofers, you simply run each in mono. If you were to use the Audiokenesis Swarm system, it uses a single amplifer for each subwoofer. My only concern with using the Audiokenesis would be if it would have enough output capability given the size of your room. Again, Duke would be able to answer that, as he also designs systems used in larger environments. http://www.audiokinesis.com/the-swarm-subwoofer-system-1.html |
