Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’)

Open concept listening space with speakers on one short wall and kitchen at the other end.  Furniture about fifteen feet from speakers.  I assume I'll need large speakers and am considering Klipsch Cornwalls as well as Tannoy Ardens, but open to suggestions.  I also assume standmounts are too small for the space.  I should mention I mostly listen at low to moderate sound levels, occasionally cranking it if the wife is out.   Thanks for any input.

So are you trying to fill the whole room or do have a listening chair? How far away from the speakers do you normally position your self ( when you wife is out )

I'm jealous of that room. My Maggies would KILL in that room.

I ended up with the CW4’s, and have been very happy with them, but as I mentioned, I don’t listen to loud music.  Lately, I’ve been thinking of trying something else, just for a change.  The Kaya 45’s are attractive, as are the Volti’s.  I’ll probably get more serious after the Holidays.  The Joseph Audio Perspectives have also caught my eye.  Too many choices!

Lately, I’ve been thinking of trying something else, just for a change.

Instead of trying the same ol same ol from the same ol sales guy selling you the same ol thing over and over....you could indeed try something "different".

Try the rather unique Polk L800...The latest rev of their SDA tech built into this speaker will throw a huge deep enveloping soundstage, etc give you the goodies in the large room. It looks like that for a reason. Set it about 6 or 7 ft apart (no extra wide placement) firing straight into the room and watch the fireworks.

(As the ol’ saying goes.....Same ol same ol everyday if things don’t change, you’re just gonna rot

Cuz if you do what you always do, you’ll always get what you always got.)
