Thanks @ethos123 Hadn't considered that. He is now revisiting the GoldenEar and Focal options as they both go down to the low 50s.
Speakers for small room
Hi folks,
I'm a two channel stereo guy trying to help out a friend with his HT set up. He is looking for front left, right and center channel speakers. Action movies (Marvel, James Bond, etc.) are the primary use case.
Requirement is they need to be flat and hang on the wall.
Budget is $2500 - $3000. Used is an option.
Receiver: Denon AVR-987 https://www.hifiengine.com/
TV: LG OLED C1: https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/
Subwoofer is a JBL 12"
He also has two smaller 6" or 8" subwoofers from Cambridge Sound Works circa 1996
Basement room is 11.5 ft wide. When sitting on the sofa - ears are about 17" from the 'rear' wall. About 10 ft from the front wall with TV and speakers.
Room is 19 ft Long. Couch is the middle 11ft of this long wall. So ears will be between 4ft - 15ft from each side wall.
Ceiling height is 6' 11" (low ceiling)
Thanks everyone!

Those are in-wall rather than on-wall speakers. Just making sure he knows he would need to cut the drywall and mount those into it rather than just securing it to the face of the wall… I have in-wall speakers in my basement and had them in the living room of a previous house, so I’m not knocking them at all, but installation has a few more pitfalls to avoid. Basically you need to know where the studs are and if anything else is in the area between them for each place you want a speaker. Probably best to be at least capable of minor drywall repair in case he comes across something unexpected. If it’s a house he owns then the in-walls can be great, but wouldn’t choose that route if his place is a rental. |
unfortunately, i found that the Edifiers were a little bass-heavy and was at time muddy sounding, especially when listening to my college lectures and for some movies. Music wise, its really a joy to listen to. Ive tried playing with the EQ knobs to no avail. are there any tools i can use to tune this? I notice that it gets muddier when i use the bluetooth function. |
