My listening room is in my basement. It is 14’ wide and 26’ deep. The ceilings are 7’ high. There is a support column in the middle that limits how far I can sit from the front wall. The back of my chair is 12’ from the front wall, as it rests against the support column. So I’m 12’ from the front wall. It’s 14’ wide. And I have 14’ deep of empty space behind me. (The other side of the basement) The walls are studs on top of the cinder block wall, with half inch sheet rock. The ceiling is a drop ceiling, with 2’ foot square ceiling tiles. I have 3 Martin Logan Dynamo 11 subwoofers. (2 in the front corners and one to the side in rear)
Spatial M3 Sapphire or Klipsch Forte 4
Looking to get a high efficiency speaker, that matches well with push pull tubes and single ended triode. I listen mainly to classic rock type music.
Think Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, type stuff.
Want to feel the punch of kick drum and quick dynamic transients.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks

op https://www.noisyplanet.nidcd.nih.gov/parents/too-loud-too-long there are free smartphone apps to check db levels, average and peak... you may want to spend a few minutes to see... |
this nice little calculator will allow you to get a ballpark idea of the volume you can achieve with various wattage. https://myhometheater.homestead.com/splcalculator.html I would think that your single ended tube amp will give you a really nice midrange, top end and soundstage but not the best control of the woofers for the really deep stuff...but if you are committed to staying with the subs...then it might not matter. There are a lot of threads on AC regarding the spatials and how they mate with low power, high power, solid state and tubes....and how they compare to other speakers...they are worth reading... Here are a few links.....
