Eric S Unregistered guest | My room is 28x20 with cathedral ceiling and the system will be in a corner. I have very limited options for speaker placement and wife wants something unobtrusive. Wall mounts won't look very good given my possible locations. I want to start with just the stereo for now a later add ht. I'm thinking smaller bookshelf type speakers on pedestals and a good sub (sub will go in corner behind system). Do to tough placement options I'm looking for speakers that are the least position sensitive (if that is possible). Budget is $1,000 for speaker system including sub. I like listening to all types of music and want flat response true reproduction. Looks will be important (WAF), hoping to find some sharp looking speakers and slim clean pedestals. |

Nice speaker stands like these will pretty them up somewhat though: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=electronics&field-keywords=mu-30&field-browse=172282 Since it's such a huge room, I'd get the best sub you can afford within your budget: http://www.hsustore.com/vtf3.html http://www.ascendacoustics.com/pages/products/subs/vtf3ii.html |

SKendra Unregistered guest | Interesting post. I have a 21' x 32' great room with a 28' cathedral ceiling and am looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers (8-10' off hardwood floor) that not only have a high spousal unit acceptance factor (SUAF) but a relatively low price of admission (around $500/pair). No HT in this room, just for pure listening - mainly jazz, some classical and rock as well. Just began my speaker search - have received a few suggestions: Epos M5, Paradigm Studio/20, PSB Image B25, Wharfedale Diamond 9.1. Would be interested in other recommendations. For your needs, could couple with speaker stands. |
