Speaker question


Hi,
I recently got a pair of Linn Majik 109 speakers. I fell in love with the sound when I auditioned them and they were in my price range. They also fit my bookshelf space. I have enjoyed them without any subwoofer. I use an older Linn power amp.
Now I find myself remodeling my listening room and entertainment center. I may have more room for a slightly larger speaker. I still cannot get a floor standing speaker, though.
Does anyone have any thoughts about a somewhat larger speaker that may be able to provide somewhat more of the low end, yet still sit on a shelf?

More low end without increasing size will require you to live with lower sensitivity which will require more amplifier power to hit the same sound pressure levels. That's just the physics of speaker enclosures.
I have some Paradigm Reference Studio 40s that have very good bass for their compact size. I am sure there are other speakers that are better, but I can recomend these from personal experience.
Luv2listen,
The Linn LK100 power amp seems now to give me sufficient power. (I used to have Linn Keilidh speakers and they were powered well for my needs.) I am wondering if a new bookshelf speaker that reached somewhat lower might be better for me now, since I have more room to utilize.
Thanks
Try adding a small M&K KX10 sub or two. I did that when I had the Majik 140's when I wanted more bass. I now use the subs with Lipinski L707's. You can actually get those combos sounding like just one speaker. The 109's are nice, so enjoy them.
