Speaker for 11x12 room


Hi guys !

Im in process of building my stereo room there is a sketch of my room

My budget is somewhere around 2.5k Usd

there will be a piano in the 8.53 wall.

what do you think will work the best for me and where is the best placement.

I don’t listen in high volumes. Don’t have measurements for db atm.

my Amplifier is ARC75se .

im considering either floorstands or monitors leaning towards monitors unless I can get a really interesting deal that still will work in this room with floor stand.

 

thank your for your help!

@yogiboy i got tons of recommendations about them . I’m definitely going to listen.

and yes I missclicked, I did message the support to move it into the Speakers threads

Your electronic gears on the piano with vibration control.

KEF LS50 Meta  on each side of the piano ( color matchs the piano )

In the futur , KEF KC62  subwoofer

From Stereophile measurements…

My estimate of the LS50 Meta's voltage sensitivity was 84.5dB(B)/2.83V/m…The Meta remains closer to 4 ohms for longer in the midrange but has a considerably higher magnitude in the crossover region. The new speaker's electrical phase angle (fig.1, dashed trace) is occasionally high, and I used the formula in a 1994 JAES paper to calculate the "equivalent peak dissipation resistance" (EPDR, footnote 1). The LS50 Meta has minimum EPDRs of 1.66 ohms between 135Hz and 140Hz and 1.7 ohms between 660Hz and 725Hz, both regions where music can have high energy. The partnering amplifier needs to be comfortable driving 4 ohms.

Bottom line, the LS50 Metas are not a tube-friendly speaker.
