Hilde brought up the Harbeth P3ESR. I use these in a small room setup with placement 12 inches at the most off wall. My room is 12 x 11. I couldn't be happier. More of a nearfield set up with LFD Le Zero Mkiii. Incredible. Worthy of consideration for sure.
Speakers for Small Room
Hi all. I’ll be moving later this year and significantly downsizing. My current listening room is 23’ x 32’ x 12’. The space at my new place is 15’ x 10’ x 9’. Speakers will go along the long wall due to doorways, windows, etc. My speakers include Volti Audio Rivals (currently hooked-up), Devore O/96 and Magnepan LRS+. Amplification is Pass Labs XA30.8. Looking for thoughts on which of the above would be the best fit, or open to suggestions for other speakers. I initially thought the Devores, but they’re rear-ported and need some pretty decent space from the front wall, which I won’t have. Although the Volti’s are large, they can be positioned pretty close to the front wall. Just not sure how "in my face" they’ll sound as my seating position will be about 8’ away. Almost forgot to mention, also have a pair of REL Carbon Specials that I doubt I'll need in the new, smaller space. Of course, amplification might need to change depending on speaker recommendations, so feel free to throw out suggestions on that front too. I’m agnostic as to solid state or tube, but not interested in integrateds as my Grimm MU2 serves as my preamp. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
