I have a small listening room and went the monitor route trying probably ten different speakers over the past two years. My favorites were the Acoustic Energy AE-300s closely followed by the Von Schweikert VR-1s. NHT SB-3s weren't bad either. I finally decided though that floorstand speakers don't really take up any more real estate than monitors on good stands and have settled on Meadowlark Sheawater Hot Rods. I think they sound wonderful and aren't overly imposing on the room. Also have the Kestrel Hot Rods which have a very different, but pleasing sound, and are even easier to place in the room. Good luck.
New room/ need new speakers
I have accepted a purchase offer for my home and we are downsizing to a smaller home. My house that I am selling has a dedicated listening room and a dedicated home theater room. My new house has neither. So, I will need to integrate my system into the living area. The room is 13' X 17', Not real big.
I have only used floor standing speakers in the past. I am not real familiar with monitors. Can I get a close to full range sound in this size room with monitors ?
I listen to classic rock from the 70's.
Using Rogue Magnum 120 monos and a ARC LS3 preamp.
Can I get the room to fill with a smaller speaker?
Thanks, Scott
