I would absolutely love to treat the room but it's our main living area and it's form first followed by function. Wife decorates the room (house) and then I try to put reasonable stereo system in the room so we/I can enjoy music occasionally. If I put the system in any other room, or even in the finished basement, it wouldn't; get much use at all.
All in 5-6k for setup in living room...with bad acoustics
Looking for suggestions with a total spend of 5-6k (because I think deals can be had) for a living room. Room is fairly large and we often listen to the music from the kitchen. Not an ideal setup at all but the silence without music right now is killing me. Other thing is I tend to listen to music on the loud side rather than sitting down and critically listening,
I’m sensitive to compression drivers and the "harsh" highs. Unfortunately the one side of the room is sliding glass doors with curtains so I’m thinking a dome tweeter. What about something like the Magnepan speakers? I don’t think they would have the desired output but they do sound nice. GoldenEar an option as well?
There are a lot of speakers out there for under 6k that are tempting, a few B&W’s, Ariel 7T, and my favorite is the Focal 1038be which is out of my budget currently. If I get speakers like these will a sub be required (I’m thinking yes) and what about amps, etc. Can I power these speakers with a 1k budget or am i dreaming? Typically listen to music from my Blue Node.
Asking a lot of questions here but thanks for the help.
