In a gym environment it will be tough to really dial in anything. Just too much reflection. That is unless you do treatments. If you have mirrored walls at all, plus windows you are 2 steps behind the curve. I own a gym, sound quality needs to “get it done” but a high end system is sort of pointless in the type of environment. One thing you might be able to do to help, is ceiling treatment. Another option is simply try moving your speakers around a bit. Personally, I would do the above before spending too much more $$$ on different speakers. Your are hearing your environment, not your gear…
Advise for new speakers for my basement exercise room
new member. I would appreciate your expert advise for new speakers for my basement exercise room 15x25. Hard floor and walls with 4 windows and 9' ceiling. I am using near mint JBL 112s but hi frequency sounds are not realistic. Lows are great. System is Nak CA7 pre, PA7 Nelson Pass 200w amp, and Sony ES707ESD CD player, AQ and Morrow cables. Like upbeat music for exercise. Don't have time and do not want to go and audition and comfort level is about 5k or less. My Mission 770s sound better than the JBLs there, but are needed elsewhere.
Thank you everyone for your advise and time.

Hello, I am going to advise you to buy revel. The M126 is really great. Also because of the waveguide on the tweeter it controls the sound and reflections very well without room treatment. At the shows people ask where the subwoofer is in the room? Very good sound. They are $4400 per pair. The revel stands are $550. All revels will work including the outdoor models if you want to hang them on the wall. If you live near the Chicagoland area this store will let you demo them in your exercise room so you can hear what I am talking about. https://holmaudio.com/ I hope this helps and you can demo them. |
