High end bookshelf speakers for Small room
I have to downsize my listening room. Looking to get a pair of bookshelf speakers for a room size 13x14 which has furniture carpet and I plan to do some acoustic treatment if needed. Would love to get some subs as well. Currently I have rels510 which might be too much for this small room..
My audio chain - Aurender N20, dCS Rossini + clock, luxman509z amp.
Music preference - Acoustic, rock, pop, piano, instrumental.. pretty much different genres.
Sound preference - bold close to you vocals, clean detailed sound. Slightly warm is fine.
Current candidates - TAD ME/CE, Joseph audio pulsar2, dynaaudio, Sonia Faber..
Any inputs here are much appreciated.. thanks in advance
Guess I should have asked about room size before connecting on the footprint of stand mounts. Good point Avanti! To imattews - I use B&W 804D3 in another room and tried to go the bookshelf route with Graham & Harbeth. I’m 64 y/o and did grow up on Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, etc but have never listened to Def Leopard. I enjoy most anything except hard rock and Classical. |
Fleff Deppard ain’t my style, but, is this what you’re suggesting? The audiophile beliefs/fad n all... Dac: washing machine size Preamp: Fridge size Power Cable: 6 inch corrugated pipe size But.................................. Speaker: Rubiks Cube size
Is that the audiophile way? the way of Matthew?
I’ll pass... But, forget the Fleff Deppard for a minute and play this on the Rubiks cube sized speaker. You don’t even need a sub. I am sure your full range Rubiks cube speaker will take care of it if you put it on a stand. Snoop Dogg - Sensual Seduction Believe! |
I presently am rocking a pair of PS Audio F5’s. These are some of the best bookshelf I have heard in my room. I own 10 different pair of bookshelf speakers and none of them sound to my ears as good as these. Some are Dynaudio Heritage, special 40, ATC 11, Buchardts SE, kef ls50, and R3 meta to name a few. The F5 sounds like a floor standing speaker in my room. Very full and transparent. Bass goes very low, even at low volume bass is not wanting. You can tell lot of engineering went into these speakers. I |
@deep_333 , reading your posts is probably the same as what cutting one’s self is like. There is nothing to be gained or any other redeeming value to it, but I do it anyway without really knowing why. |
