Looking for non-boomy full range speakers

"I have a small room (11*13) and want a full range yet "light sounding" speaker, floorstanding if possible."

Were you suggesting the Magneplanars as wallpaper Eldartford or as pseudo Stax headphones? :)

I vote sub for practicality and effectiveness BUT....

Here's a trick, remove the Yara's passive crossover and put in an active one. BSS, DEQX, whatever pleases you.

That way you could equalize the bass down into the high 20's since the speaker will not need to play that loud in such a small room. If the speaker is ported plug the port to avoid over excursion.

Cabin Gain in your room kicks in about 44 hz in that room so it will take minimal EQ to get the bass extended into the 20's. You room is likely +9 to 10dB at 20 hz and a speaker like the Yara could get to the low 20's (just not very loudly).

My Minimalistic system was flat to 30 hz in room and I could eq the spectral balance a little to compensate for the lack of wall treatments. The system was very very good, your Yara's have the same potential.

Cinematic_systems..I get your point. Just the same, there are some small Maggies...even wall mounts. Also, I have messed around with near-field listening to Maggies. Try it sometime and you might be interested, even if not delighted. One thing I remember is sitting directly in between two Maggies, listening to them EDGE-ON. Sounds exaxtly like headphones...I don't know why. One would think they would have to be facing the ears.

Just pulling your chain El D'

I am in the same boat and got JM Lab Electra 926s. Couldn't be happier!

you room is 15*14...mine is 11*13...don't you think that this could negatively affect the result? I know we ar only talking a few feet less but I had in mind the 926 was fairly generous in lower mids?
