Speaker Recommendations: Corner Placement
Hey Folks:
Interested in your recommendations for a floorstanding speaker that will work well in a large, open living space (25 x 40 x 9) with the speakers flanking the corner of the room. I’d like a broad dispersion pattern so that the sound remains as uniform as possible as you move around the space and at different seating positions. I’m thinking Ohms but am open to ideas.
If you need a speaker that sounds good when placed within a foot of back and side walls, you have eliminated 95% of the product sold. The room is large. Klipsch Corner horns come to mind. Audionotes can be close to walls but in a big room might not be heard well if too far away. I would look at Dutch and Dutch powered speakers with room correction. Great sound and will do what you are asking.

As mentioned above, my local dealer has a similar room size and always runs Audio Note speakers on stands tight up to the walls right in the corners, as designed to be used this way. Heard it with SET 2A3, 45, 300B monos and 211 integrated. Was there yesterday listening to the 45s, AN speakers close to walls. |
Hey Guys—I appreciate the suggestions. I don’t think I’ve set myself up for success on this thread….there is only one corner and the entertainment center will be in it with the speakers on perpendicular walls on either side of the entertainment center. So speakers designed for corner placement like the Audio Notes are not what I’m after. The ideal speaker will work well positioned close to the walls and will fill the room with sound while firing straight ahead. Hope that makes sense!
