+3 on the JBL Everest DD67000. Add in a pair of JBL SUB18's.
Or, JBL M2's with SUB18's. The waveguides are wonderful in larger rooms.
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.

@tomic601 Curious to hear about how you tamed your room. I'm currently using a Lumin U1 Mini into PS Audio DSJr. into Backert Rhumba pre-, into Pass XA30.8 into Vandersteen Treo CT's in the subjeft listening space. I use Qobuz through Roon and have an AudioLab CD player, though I hardly ever use it. I've just moved the Treo's into the room, and don't yet have a rug to tie the room together :) I'm thinking the Treo's may work, but am here trying to find another solution in case they don't. |
Hi OP. First, what a lovely system you have put together:-) should sound great. In the Charleston great room we had Vandersteen 5a with an Ayre 200 wpc amp. With built in powered subs and 11 bands of analog EQ no problem filling the space. That is a big room to fill w Treo. I would set them up for the 15' chair per the manual ( tilt # washers ) Probably less toe in than normal and the Treo has directivity control in grill and is designed to be near back wall. In my current room ( see Casa Pacifica system pictures, it's a large volume but speakers are on a segment of the long wall. Good bass to below 40 HZ. I would certainly try what you have, mess around w placement. Consider adding two sub3, they have the EQ to tame room . Please do join us at Vandy owners web forum at factory site. Best to you !!!
