Which speaker for "bright" room? Brand A, B orC?


The acoustic properties of a given room considerably impact a speaker’s performance. In your opinion, what is the BEST speaker ($4,000-$8,000) for an AWFULLY bright room? (Two channel audio)

Fix the room as best possible and THEN look for speakers. Anything else would be like trying to plug a gaping wound with sand. Sure, the sand will stop the bleeding due to clotting, but you've got one helluva infection to deal with not too far down the road. Sean

I'm with Ezme & Sean. Let me add that, 1) speaker placement is important and can help,
2) "taming/ fixing" a room isn't a multi million $ headache... it starts with dampening 1st order reflections, using rugs, carpets, furniture, etc in a manner that can even be pleasing to the eye! Good luck!
i'd look for one of the high-end single-driver based speakers, as they're efficient as hell, easy to amplify, and don't have a seperate tweeter to extend to the high extremes. plus, there are many who believe that the single-driver speaker is the most sonically accurate, since it uses no crossovers. i've only heard a few, and they were all sonically amazing. check out the speakers on tis website, as they're the best single-drivers i've ever heard.

or you could treat the room and buy whatever you want.

good luck, man!
A choice you may consider is Spendor SP-100. I've personally
have not heard this model, however, I've owned the little
S 3/5. (A wonderful musical spk.) Another to consider,
Harbeth Monitor 40. Dampen your listening room as so many others have suggested. Bill
I agree with the others who say to treat your room 1st. Try the Audio Asylum and read the info in Jon Risch's website.
