Your new room has ample space for speakers. A friend of mine bought Wilson Puppies and then treated the room to great effect. Your room is large enough for floor standers or stand mount. If you are looking for natural and musical look for a used pair of Sonus faber Olympica 3. These will fit the room and sound great. I owned a pair for many years. All Sonus Faber are natural sounding and musical. But Dynaudio, Totem can also be good choices. The Dynaudio are more detailed and still natural, Totem are fun and natural sounding. Wilson precise... and very flexible in a small room.
Recommendations for speakers in a much smaller listening room.
My wife and I are in the process of buying and moving to a new patio home. We are both pretty excited about it. The only issue is I will have a much smaller listening room. I currently have a room that is 14.5 x 38, basically one half of the basement. The new room will be 12 x 16 with 8' ceilings.(taller than pervious room at 6'8") The question is what is a good speaker for that size room that will not overload the room. I like sound stage, imaging and listenability over analytical and highly detailed. My current speakers are Tyler acoustics Woodmere II and are giant towers. I do some vinyl on a vintage Panasonic DD TT with Ortofon MC1 cart. Mostly streaming with a Lumin T2, Oppo Digital 105 for disks with a Modwright KWH 225i. Thanks for any suggestions, Allen.

As others mentioned it’s a decent sized room and I’d definitely at least give the Tyler’s a try before buying something else — might surprise you and a couple bass traps may be all you need if even that. Past that, here are some available now that are musical and also excel at imaging with an expansive 3D soundstage. https://tmraudio.com/fresh-arrivals/joseph-audio-rm33si-limited-edition-floorstanding-speakers-pair/ Best of luck. |
Who knows? There’s literally a million speakers out there that would work well in your smaller room. You’ll probably receive about a million different speaker suggestions on this forum to confuse you even further. You already know what’s out there. You just need to do the legwork. Your smaller room still is large enough to accommodate larger speakers like your current Tyler speakers. I bet your current Tyler speakers could be made to work beautifully in your new room. I’d keep the incredible Tyler speakers if I were you. Happy listening. |
Yes It will be a dedicated room. I do plan to try the Tylers. Just thinking ahead if I don't like the results. I also have a pair of Yamaha NS1000M from 1978. I bought those before I ever bought a car, and a pair of Boston Acoustics A400. I was just thinking a sexy pair of smaller floor standers should be in my future. Or not, I was just wondering what folks used in that sized room and loved. I don't really plan to change anything else. At least not for a while, thanks. |
