Speaker Help Please: Floorstanders around $1Ok to fill very large space with no sub
Hi Gang, haven’t posted in here in years...
A great friend of mine is going through major remodel and looking for 2 large floor standing speakers to fill a great room 38’ long x 20’ wide with a celling that slopes in one direction from 15’-8’. so about 7200 cubic feet.
He is very serious about music. Used to book bands. He listens to a lot of New Orleans groove-based music and Americana. His wife loves female singers, like Brandi Carlisle.
My main advise to him is, since he/his wife don’t want a sub, they will need speakers with sufficient low end.
Haven’t thought too much about amp yet.
He will also use the system for 2 channel home theater watching.
Thanks for any suggestions
In a room that size, moving a lot of air is important. I’d get a used pair of Martin Logan 13A’s in a heartbeat. I’ve a friend with a large living room/ dining room set up, we placed the smallest Martin Logan ESL’s at one end and I was amazed at how even those filled that space. I’ve a friend with a large space and 13A’s in it and it just rocks. You just might find a used pair of 15A’s for around your budget and then you’d be killing it. Those things are monsters. |
I was also going to recommend Pure Audio Project speakers (I use the Duet 15 Horn 1s with a couple of REL subs in a large room) but rockadanny ruined everything! They may put this answer at the top of the replies (why is that now a "thing"?) so that could save me. Also, as the "PAP" speakers may be too exotic for some tastes, you might try the Volti Razz as those are likely to fill your space with horn authority (that’s what I call it) and cool veneers...Cocobolo! |
@pinwa Second this x 1000. |
