Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’)


Open concept listening space with speakers on one short wall and kitchen at the other end.  Furniture about fifteen feet from speakers.  I assume I'll need large speakers and am considering Klipsch Cornwalls as well as Tannoy Ardens, but open to suggestions.  I also assume standmounts are too small for the space.  I should mention I mostly listen at low to moderate sound levels, occasionally cranking it if the wife is out.   Thanks for any input.

I'm sorry @danager  but I missed seeing which speakers you were referring to.

@fiesta75 Thanks for the reference to the JBL Everest.  Lots os folks thought it was the bestof show at the recent CAF.

Sorry I meant to say:

Klipsch / Speaker Lab Corner Horns. They are a fantastic deal used. I live near Seattle and there are usually a pair or two for sale every month or so. The Speaker Lab SK versions are even cheaper. Volti and some others have upgrades for them. New horn and drivers and crossovers which is what I planned to do with mine when I purchased them but they sounded so good that I just wrapped the midrange horn with dynamat and enjoy them. For me the most amazing part is how good they in the kitchen. They fill the whole level with great sound

Dunlavy sc-4,5,6s are still to be found on occasion. Even though they are perhaps a couple of decades old, they still represent one of the best values in high end audio. Oh, and they absolutely love big rooms.
