Good advice from @soix
Might check in with The Music Room, Ascend Audio or Zu Audio ... especially Ascend. All have models in budget and have 30 day return policies.
Should I graduate to floor standers or will larger bookshelves suffice?
Hey guys,
I moved into a larger space several years ago, more of an open floor plan, and soon realized that my current speakers, Legacy Studio HD, in a surround array, might be a bit overwhelmed. It’s a weird, asymmetrical space, but it’s also significantly larger than my previous one. So the title of my post says it all…can I still get adequate coverage with bookshelf speakers, or do I now need floor standers? A friend told me to basically “sit closer to the tv” but that isn’t practical.
I thought about the Calibres from Legacy as an option, which is about my price range…up to 7k or so. I also see all these great internet only brands, like Fritz, or Philharmonic, etc, and I hear about their prodigious extension and sound stage, but can these bookshelves fill my room, or any room for that matter?
Let me also add, I have no problem graduating to floor standers, so suggestions are also welcome.
Thanks in advance.

@ltmandella maybe I’m mis-labeling my speakers as “bookshelves” when they’re really “stand mounts”….I have Legacy’s Studio HD speakers. They’re about the same size as your DeCapos. I actually considered yours before I bought my mine. |
Book shelves in all honesty mid 40hz if you are very lucky you need agood power subwoofer or 2 like the Svs SB4000 not ported seamed sub it’s faster and more accurate . That’s for sure depending on budget. the 805 B&W a very nice book shelf ,much better stil the MBL 126 stand mount my favorite with matching stands in the $16k range. |
