The piano is pretty small. It’s upright. idk why I haven’t thought about it I will put it in the bedroom. Unless it will benefit the room acoustics haha. Anyway I don’t want to hug the back wall so it doesn’t really in the way ;)
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!

+1 on the Joseph Audio. I’d also consider Totem Element Fire V2 or the Fritz Carbon (all used, of course). But that’s for my tastes. What do you want out of a speaker or e correctly, what audible characteristics do you aspire to in your music reproduction system? And you have a really great amp. It deserves equally great speakers. |
I have the same room and used the KEF LS50 Meta and KC62 sub to excellent results. I replaced the speakers with Magnepan LRS+. I needed some very powerful amps to run the LRS+ (unlike the LS50 Meta). I use a Sanders Magtech or a CODA #16 for the LRS+. The LRS+ works great in this small room and it is better then the LS50 Meta. The soundstages is bigger, more depth and wider. However, since the OP has a piano also in this room I cannot recommend the LRS+. I would go with the LS50 Meta
Actually, since the piano stays, you would be better off getting a RAAL SR1b earphone and the TL-1B interface box to use with your existing amp. It is better than the LRS+ and the LS50 Meta. However, it is not room speakers. |
For your 11’ x 12’ room, a pair of Philharmonic BMR Monitors would be ideal.

It is a 3-way design with a SB Acoustics 6-inch ceramic woofer, RAAL ribbon tweeter and a Balanced Mode Radiator (BMR) midrange.
They are priced at $1,700 a pair plus shipping.
You can contact Dennis Murphy the designer info@philharmoncaudio.com
I auditioned them at 2022 Arizona Speaker Fest and rated them number 1. I was astonished how they blew away the higher priced entries including the ATC SCM 11. My sentiments were shared by most attendees. It was a runaway success.

Here are the specs:

Your ARC REF 75SE power amp ($10,000) is a world class tube amp that delivers 75 watts/channel. This is more than enough to make the BMR monitors deliver their full potential.
