Looking for speaker ideas and room size is 11 w x 16 l x 9 ft ceilings.....room has acoustical panels. Music ranges from Big Band , Blues, Rock.
Equipment so far is :
Wyred 4 Sound st-500 deHavilland Mercury Preamp Sim audio phono pre VPI Industries HW-19 mkIII GLOSS BLACK W/MOERCH UP-4 / Ortofon Black
Have looked at different Spendor , Proac, Totem speakers but not sure if those would work for the rock music and would a sub be needed with those if they would be able to play rock music ?
Many speakers will not play rock music simply because they refuse to do it. They could easily do it of course, as music specific speakers aren't a thing…but they refuse, and that's just wrong.
There's a pair of ATC SCM19s for sale here now that excel at that type of music. Add a sub or two and they'll definitely rock your world. Dynamics in spades. They're not an easy load but thinking your amp might have the juice to get them moving. Best of luck.
