New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker?


Due to a recent move, my listening room has shrunk to the above dimensions. Meaning whatever speakers I purchase will have about 1' from the back walls...1' from the side walls (5' in between) and about 7' from me. Any small speakers suggestions for a room this size?

Thanks

Without knowing your budget ... something like the NHT Classic 3 may work out well. They are acoustic suspension/sealed box design and so near rear wall placement is not an issue.

I'd to note a strong disagreement with Albert, the 1.6's it will simply swamp the room in sound and will be most unpleasant. I'm not even sure with extensive room treatments could you absorb the acoustic output that will reflect around the room. Nothing worse than A dipole backed into a corner either. Boom!

Channel seperation if that is important to you will be non existent. I think he might have misread your dimensions.

A super speaker for your application would be the Elac 330.3 JET, ATC SCM10's, Focal SM6, Acoustic Energy AE1 reissues, Someones LS3/5a even if you like that sound.

Small speakers with a DSP EQ'd subwoofer 8" to 10" to give you full range and some bass control in the room. EQ is very important in small rooms.

You need something with a small footprint also, so my suggestion would be something like a Totem Sttaf, which is Totem's mini-tower. Great sound in a small package. Good luck with your search.

You might also consider Gallo reference 3's. I'm using them in a small room with great results.
