| 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. ... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @tubeguy80 I'd like to stay at $3K or below, which I think gives me plenty of options. All things being equal, I generally like to buy gently used as there's some good value to be had in gear that's not brand new, but that's not a necessity as wh... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @ronboco Thanks for the further info, I appreciate it. It’s a 8’ ceiling unfortunately. But I’ll keep an open mind on this and won’t eliminate any options without at least weighing against other options. | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @ronboco My thought is that my room isn't ideal to start with, because it's smaller than the minimum volume I've read is required for a dedicated audio room. Some people's stance is "if you can't meet that minimum volume, don't bother, it's never... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @mesch Yes, I removed 3 of those large acoustic panels from the side walls already. Just left two closest to the front of the room. Can remove those if needed. I also have acoustic foam inside all the canvas pictures on the walls. Since that r... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @yoyoyaya What do you recommend for bass traps? Is it the shape or material (or both) that differentiate a higher frequency panel from a bass trap? I suppose not surprisingly, vendors advertise flat panels like the ones I have as bass traps, so ... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @erik_squires Fritz definitely looks interesting. I like the idea of supporting an independent speaker maker who uses high quality components. Will keep a look out. @nonoise I did try plugging the Aerial ports, as well as moving them further in... | |

| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room I will find a way to post unsquished pics. The complications with a sub: a) C35 preamp doesn’t have a sub out. So I’d need to find some sort of line level combine two channels into one device and let the sub high pass filter out what it doesn’t... |
