Speaker for 11x12 room


Hi guys !

Im in process of building my stereo room there is a sketch of my room

My budget is somewhere around 2.5k Usd

there will be a piano in the 8.53 wall.

what do you think will work the best for me and where is the best placement.

I don’t listen in high volumes. Don’t have measurements for db atm.

my Amplifier is ARC75se .

im considering either floorstands or monitors leaning towards monitors unless I can get a really interesting deal that still will work in this room with floor stand.

 

thank your for your help!

On room placement I concur with Mesch…use the long wall. The piano maybe can stay, however. On speakers, the BMR Monitors seem ideal, but Totem Floorstanders like Forests are also. Revel FS226Be are another. 

I also would look hard at the Fyne's,I'd buy them now for myself if other priorities weren't there. They probably will not be available for long

Bookshelf would be: Buchardt Audio S400 MKII, Philharmomic BMRs, Joseph Audio Prizm, and Fritz Carbon. I would personally stay away from KEF LS50, hated them with my tube amp.

The Zu DW 6 with SuperFly package are in that range as well, for a small floor stander

@mesch ty , I will try that and see the results!

I’ll also looking to hear Fyne speakers. A lot of good comments even from friend.

 

I came across Sonus Faber Electa amator ii, I found mk1 as well but the guy isnt willing to sell atm.

how do you guys find the Sonus Faber EA ii, would my amp be able to push them?

If I was you I’d consider placing the speakers straddling the corner where the 11.3’ and 6.5’ walls meet and put the listening chair in the back right (as your diagram is drawn).  Many manufacturers do this at shows when they have significant space constraints and it can greatly improve the use of the available space.  Just another thought and hope this makes sense the way I described it.
