@side22olto: P.S. As for the sub issue, hang onto it and see what your ears think after you've brought your new babies home and have fully broken them in. Depending upon what kinds of music you enjoy and a host of other factors, you may find it needs to remain in play. Enjoy!
Floorstanding speaker advice needed for long room
I’d appreciate some advice on getting floorstanding speakers that don’t need to be placed too far into a room.
I want to upgrade my bookcase speakers and sub for floorstanding speakers but am worried my room might be too small. It’s 12ft wide, 9ft ceiling and 21ft long (we knocked two rooms into one when we bought the house). Due to furniture layout etc. I have my speakers positioned facing the length of the room. They can be 6ft apart but only about 1/2 to 3/4 of a foot from the wall behind. At some point in the future we’ll move but for now I’d need speakers that sound good close to the wall and this distance apart. They would be driven by a Rega Aura.
I’ve read good things about Spendors and Dynaudio, would either of these be suitable in this kind of space? And if I go for floorspeakers, presumably I can retire the sub (Rel T7).

Thanks again for all the advice (looks like there’s no “like” function so I can’t like the comments. It makes sense to hang on to the Rel and see how the new speakers sound so will definitely be doing that. I’m hoping whichever speakers I get will sound fine 20cm from the wall in this house and hopefully get more space in the next one. Will give my local dealer a call and try to set up some auditions. The only issue is having to make a fairly quick decision. If I can trial 3 or 4 different models in a row with the same amp as I have at home and the same 3 or 4 records it should be doable. |
