I'd like thoughts for speakers in a 18 x 22 room with catheral ceilings 15' to 23'...one long window wall and the other, a half wall opening to kitchen and hall with loft over!!! A nightmare or what?
Great WAF and easily filling a 38X22 with 10 foot peak ceiling room are my VonSchweikert Vr4SR's. They are really beautiful sounding. Using 200 watt per channel solid state. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your responses...I listen to classic (orchestral) 90% of the time...vinyl 75%. Components are Rega P-25 with Grado, Sony SACD 777ES, either Audible Illusions pre/Pass Aleph3 or Magnum Dynalab 208 receiver (100WPC).Will probably buy used at up to 3k...Also, this is a bright/hard room with wood floors/oriental rugs. Thanks again.
my living room is almost exactly like your room. It's been really frustrating to the point I finally built a dedicated room in my basement for my primary system. I have tried many speakers in the LR though. You want something that produces deep bass and plenty of it. I also found placing them on the long wall works best for me - with the backs to the window.
I'm using vintage Infinity Monitor IIa's there now. They're set about 2' out from the window and 10' apart. The listening position is a sofa against the other wall. These speakers are flat to 22Hz, and do nicely in this configuration - though not as nicely as they do in a more optimal room. Other speakers I've tried in that room sounded like a transitor radio.
