I've heard Cornwall's, Heresy's and even Klipschorn's in small rooms and they all sounded very good. I've heard many other horn/high efficiency systems in small rooms and they seem to work particularly well in those settings. These types of systems come alive at much lower volume levels than most speakers so they are particularly suited for small rooms and low volume listening even if they are large in size which makes people think they are best suited for large rooms and high volume playing.
Will Klipsch Forte IV's Work In A Smaller Room?
I need a quality pair of high sensitivity speakers, and a used pair of the Klipsch IV's will fit my budget.
My room is 12x5 by 9.5. I would place the Forte IV's on the long wall, about 7.5 to 8 feet apart (depending on how critical the distance to the side walls is), and 12-18 inches out from the corners. My listening position would be 8 feet away, at the tip of a pyramid formed by the speakers and the seating position.
Any expertise, thoughts and recommendations appreciated.
