Recommendations for speakers in a much smaller listening room.
My wife and I are in the process of buying and moving to a new patio home. We are both pretty excited about it. The only issue is I will have a much smaller listening room. I currently have a room that is 14.5 x 38, basically one half of the basement. The new room will be 12 x 16 with 8' ceilings.(taller than pervious room at 6'8") The question is what is a good speaker for that size room that will not overload the room. I like sound stage, imaging and listenability over analytical and highly detailed. My current speakers are Tyler acoustics Woodmere II and are giant towers. I do some vinyl on a vintage Panasonic DD TT with Ortofon MC1 cart. Mostly streaming with a Lumin T2, Oppo Digital 105 for disks with a Modwright KWH 225i. Thanks for any suggestions, Allen.
@backwash is this a dedicated listening space Also your room is actually pretty good dimensions wise |

I've found most speakers can work very well as long as the listening seat is flexible. You have to be open to moving everything around and see what sounds best. A pair of Verity Parsifal monitors would be really nice and are sometimes found without the bass/subwoofer part of the speaker for under 2k. I've owned Proac and Harbeth both nice too. The Harbeth's would bottom out when pushed, not ideal for loud listening so factor what kind of reproduction you are looking to create. |
