Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound?

Altec lansing a 7 speakers of any vintage are the perfect club simulator for your home they will give you that live visceral experience every time.

For a club experience at home, set it up like a club.  Put a mackie srm450 in each corner top corner.  Its important to have the speakers above everyone so that when people are standing up dancing, they dont block the speakers.  Add 4 big accompanying mackie subs. Use a bluesound node 2i into a good dac and then eq or dsp.  Control the music from your phone or ipad.  Get spotify, tidal and amazon hd; that way you’ll have all your music covered.

Id add sound treatments from gik all over the place.  This will allow you to play music loudly, cleanly and for long periods without destroying everyones ears.

last tip, play to the audience / guests.  Whatever they like they’ll dance to so tune in on that then find a good playlist with that genre so that you can entertain guests rather than picking a new song every 3 minutes.

If people are into it crank it up.  If everyone is trying to converse, either change music or turn it down or both.  

I have a set of Zu Omen Defs that could prolly recreate a jet engine, but I rarely wind them up. Mostly jazz. However, I do now & then, on EDM / beats type stuff. They're seemingly limitless. They don't have pounding bass like a sub will but from ~35 on up or so, buckle up.

Zu Omen Defs are good speakers at 101 dB/watt. But, I would not compare them to some others like JBL, Altec, Cerwin-Vega or BagEnd. Not even very close for "club" or concert volume. You wouldn't even hear the Zu's in a room with the others. In your house they are fantastic speakers for the $$.

I reno’d my basement 2 years ago. My goal was a home theater/bar in the theme of a basement club/bordello and hosting parties. Art work is all framed 12x18" concert billboards of artists that have influenced me through out my life etc. I have also decorated with guitar’s , mic stands, horns etc, along "the wall of sound" to emulate a stage. The 5.1 sound system consists of heavily modified Klipsch Lascala’s (new X overs, tweeter and mid driver from Bob Crites). The Lascala’s are powered by a Bryston 3B. I also have a pair of passive EV 18" sub’s, each sub is powered by an older restored Bryston 4B's configured in bridge or mono (800W per sub). I am using a Crites horn loaded center and Klipsch wall mounts for the rear channels, each powered by Bryston 2BLP’s. Also have a 3rd powered sub, utilizing a Axiom 600. I would love to have hung the lascala’s , but the basement ceiling height would make it difficult. The room is about 25’ x 60 with a variable height ceiling. The system will pressurize the room just fine, never even get close to clipping any of the amps, but the Lascala’s will get a little "horny" if pushed hard. I have been working on that by placing area rugs (as you see on many stages during live venues ) . Covid has kept me from having a large party, but it is giving me a great excuse to have one once it is safe to do so! With 1 watt or less the system sounds pretty good within the sweet spot. 10 watts or more the club sounds starts to kick in. I use the pre-processor to adjust sub output depending on the activity, usually I have them boosted with about 3db of gain over the Lascala’s. A few years prior we were hosting a party celebrating "A National Celebration" the final Tragically Hip concert ( Yes I am Canadian). We hosted the party in our family room 20x25 with vaulted ceilings. I ended up renting a EV powered 15" or 18"? sub , and a pair of EV "highs" which I sat on my PSB Stratus Gold towers. The PSB were just used as speaker stands. I used the aforementioned Bryston 3B to power the EV "highs". We had close to 25 people , sitting dancing etc watching the show on a 65" tv. I was told by several people that the sound was as close to a live show as they ever heard/felt. What I ever learned throughout the years, use high efficient speakers with lots of dynamic range, and lots of clean power. It will sound a lot better if you are not pushing the system to hard. What I would do different? Class D power for the subs , (Crown XLS series etc.) . They are cheaper and lighter.
