I have a room that doesn't offer support in the bass so when I look at JA's or other measurements I know in my room the speakers will measure like they do WITHOUT adding the port response, so most speakers roll off steeply at 80 hz and only the heroic designs give me anything below 50hz. I'm beginning to think I have to go with a sealed box design since I never heard a sub I liked(for music). There's a pair of Revel Salon 2's on AG right now that if your room's like mine, would give you good bass to 40hz and I find the newer revel's actually sound better closer to walls. A couple 500 watt amps and you should be in heaven.
Looking for speaker recommendations
I am trading in my PMC Twenty5.26’s and looking for new speakers. My room is 15 ft. L x 12 ft. W with a 8 ft. ceiling. The speakers will be driven by Metaxas Solitaire monoblocks and a Devialet 200 pre-amp. Some speakers that I can get in my price range are:
B&W 804 D3
Legacy Audio Signature SE
Paradigm Persona F3
Vivid Audio B1
Joseph Audio Perspectives
Dynaudio Contour 60
Magico A3
I am looking for a greater soundstage and bottom end slam while maintaining the clarity of the PMC’s. I listened to the B&W’s and Paradigms and preferred the B&W’s. Not sure if any of the other speakers would be too much for my room or not? Any comments on these speakers would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
