| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @wyoboy Interesting about speaker location not playing into it. I’ll have to download the app you mentioned. Looking at all the nodes, if you superimpose all bad zones on top of each other, seems like I’d be left with very little options for a g... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @wyoboy I found the 3D graphic that shows mode locations, but aren’t zone locations also dependent on where my speakers are placed vs purely on the dimensions of my room? My only input to the calculator was my room size. | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @mapman The speakers are 34.5/47” from front wall (back of speaker/front of speaker). Since I have front cabinets, I measured distance of 17-18”/28.5-29.5” from front cabinet (back of speaker/front of speaker), though with the front port, I’m not... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @perazzi28 Thank you for your PMs. I don’t seem to be able to respond yet (something about validating my email and adding a payment method). Tried to do that, but maybe it takes time to process. But wanted to let you know I received the info an... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @perazzi28 With the new Concerto Domus speakers, I did try a lot more positions to minimize the effect of room nodes. I was able to hear that in certain forward/back spots, the bass was bloated and in other spots, it was much better controlled an... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @audiorusty No separate isolation, but there is a TT shelf attached to the wall, so isolated from my bouncy wood floors, but that’s it. Besides the four subs and DSP, did you take a lot of other actions (room treatments for example) to make your ... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room Pic of speakers in space. I double checked the problematic track and it was 90% better playing a CD. The Amazon Music version of Girl from Ipanema is very bad to my ears (loud and compressed and those unpleasant resonances seem to be baked int... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room I acquired a new-to-me set of speakers to try out: Sonus Faber Concerto Domus speakers from 2005-6 timeframe. Previous generations of the Concerto were stand mounts, the Domus is a smaller floor stander, but still two-way with similar sized drive... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @wyoboy I do think addressing the room and optimizing speaker placement can definitely help and perhaps make my 7B’s workable. But I guess the question in my mind is whether it’s still a matter of degree. Meaning if you start with a smaller spea... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @turkster3 Thanks for sharing that. How far did you go with room treatments before deciding you wanted to go with smaller speakers? How high are your ceilings? And final question: Do you miss the bass since I assume the smaller B&W’s don’t ... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @vthokie83 Are you using the BMR’s yourself? They’re very pretty looking indeed. In this case, I wonder whether they’re still too big for my room. Don’t want to overcompensate, but I am trying to right-size the speakers for my room. @rjinaz863... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @markmn Thanks, I’ll search for that video. I agree that it’s good to be educated and make decisions from there. @nkeler Nice speakers! Must sound great! Wnat kind of bass traps are you using? Is it the rule of thumb that you put bass traps b... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @gkelly Yes, point taken and you’re not wrong. The Aerials are 95lbs each and incredibly solidly built. They were my main speakers longer than any others since my first set of real speakers back in the early 90’s. They worked really well in my ... | |

| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @yogiboy Looking at the Harbeth specs, my concern is that the bass only goes down to 75Hz. I’d definitely need a sub in that case, whereas a monitor that went down to 38-44Hz I may be able to go without. @soix I’ll take a look at the Revivals. ... |
