Large room with low budget for speakers

Shawarma,

makes it a bit tricky to reply when we don't have the dimensions of your room.

The bigger the room the more powerful amplifier you're going to need.

If you like the sound of them, an ideal speaker for a large room are the Klipsch Horns, 103dB, 8ohms impedance. Purchased used, you'll have lots of money left over to buy good amplification!!!

The nice thing about the used Klipsch Heritage speaker line is this. Years after the initial purchase, and your ears start to critique a short coming in the speaker (they all have them), there are plenty of upgrades for not a ton of money. Check Bob Crites, or Volti Audio for upgrades.

In other words, they maybe lifers.

Enjoy the voyage.

Give GIKAccoustics a call and see if they can help you sort out your room before you spend that $30K.

 

You should create a Virtual System page on Audiogon. It will also help if you call GIK.

 

Best info given. 
 

It’s probably not the speakers and more your room at this point and budget. Is the room treated?

Don't overlook what Magnepan can offer. They circumvent the complications of cabinets and dynamic drivers and save expense and you might like the planar sound.

If I had that kind of money I would look at what others have mentioned, Volti Audio. You would be the kind of customer to work out a deal for the Vittora and that’s like heaven. Klipsch are nice but I would go for the Vittora and bass module. Winner,winner.....chicken dinner, Dancing all night long.

Interested to read responses, but mainly curious in what world $30k is considered low budget.
