With speakers so close to the back wall, I would warn against anything that is rear-ported. Stick to front-ported models like PSB has. Otherwise you won't be able to use the speaker to its fullest potential; typically rear ports extend low frequency response by having the cabinet set a certain distance from a wall. Front ported speakers don't depend upon this as much.
Small family living room floor-standing speakers?
I’m looking for speakers to upgrade my music listening and provide audio for a 58” TV. The speakers have to be both wife and child-friendly. Don’t need to rock the room, but want the speakers to sonically disappear as much as possible. I need a small footprint. Budget flexible,around $1-2K. Used or new is okay.
15’ x 20’ living room, TV and sofa on opposite walls. Speakers on either side of the TV, against the wall--no space to place them away from the wall.
Stereo: Sony V-FET TA-4650 amp, server-based FLAC library of CD’s, Squeezebox system, Rhapsody streaming, Rotel CD player.
Considering: Totem (Arro?), Epos, Monitor Audio, PSB, Paradigm. I'm wary of the sound quality of on-wall speakers--is that fair?
Ideas? Thanks!
