hte speaker i am currently using is a floorstander about 40 inches tall made by selah audio consisting of a ribbon tweater 5 1/2 inch midrange and 7 inch acutron woofer. speaker is non ported. i love the speakers and at moderate levels it sounds great but at loud levels the sound stage falls apart and things become a bit of a mess. i am on a tile floor withan area rug and this does not seem an ideal situation. the speakers are not under any strain so its not that they cant handle the volume level. which leads me to believe they are either too big and not being given enough space or my room needs to be toned down a bit.
speaker to big?
can a speaker actually be to large for a room?
my cuurent listening area is 13x15. my speakers can only go in one spot which is about one and a half feet from the back wall about 6 and a half feet apart. seating is about 7 feet away , 3 ft from the back wall. listen to mostly adult rock and jazz at moderate to sometimes loud levels and am more concerned with resolution and imaging. would a small monitor be prferable over a floorstander or is it just a matter of preference. my amp is a prima luna dialogue if that matters. any suggestions helpful.
