We are are about 8 feet from the tv just like yourself.The room is 20' x15'.The speakers are a pair of tiny Polk bookshelves and a sub.They are plenty loud with good dialog capability and only struggle with very low special effects.Your SVS will not though:)Those are excellent subs.You don't need large speakers.Our little home theater set up is in a separate room because we like the crisp dialog from the Polks but it's too crisp for music listening(to me).Doesn't bother anyone else.
smaller room monitors
Does anyone have a recommendation or experience with a listening position 7 to 8 feet from speakers? This is for 50/50 music/home theater. Would 2.1 or 2.2 system work here. Or just throw up two floorstanders? Don't mind buying used speakers. Have a SVS PB2000 sub I can use to supplement low end. Thought maybe someone had already been down this road to save some time/$. Like to be under $1500 for 2 speakers. Warmer>brighter.

https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7605 Once I added acoustic treatments ($700) I was off to the races. The room sounds great now with the LS50 monitor. I am going to put in a PAradigm Persona 3F floor stander using a DSP capable preamp. I know that the treated room can now handle the large speaker. The LS50 passive can be had for $800 used. If you do not have amp + preamp the ACTIVE version of the LS50 is something to look into. |
