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!

@daviddas Thank you for the intro to Philharmonic Audio!!  Added to the list ...

 

@fthompson251  ... concur, the Fyne's are worth every penny!!

 

Some good info OP!!

1st I would move piano to bedroom. Then I would start with putting speakers along the 12.1 ft wall.  Left speaker spaced 3' from the glass door wall with curtain. The right speaker having about 6ft space between it and left speaker. Position the back of speakers at a distance different than that of the distance from side walls. If possible place a low profile equipment rack along the wall shared with bathroom, not at point of 1st reflection, treat that wall with sound panel at 1st reflection point.  Place listening chair about 6ft from front plane of speakers.Treat the wall behind chair with absorption panel.  Make adjustments from there.

You have received many good recommendation for speakers.  I will only state that I use Fritz carbon 7s in a similar sized room. Sold direct with 60 day trial period. Very tube friendly. 

 

 

On room placement I concur with Mesch…use the long wall. The piano maybe can stay, however. On speakers, the BMR Monitors seem ideal, but Totem Floorstanders like Forests are also. Revel FS226Be are another. 

I also would look hard at the Fyne's,I'd buy them now for myself if other priorities weren't there. They probably will not be available for long

Bookshelf would be: Buchardt Audio S400 MKII, Philharmomic BMRs, Joseph Audio Prizm, and Fritz Carbon. I would personally stay away from KEF LS50, hated them with my tube amp.

The Zu DW 6 with SuperFly package are in that range as well, for a small floor stander
