New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker?
If you are considering Green Mountain Audio speakers, call Roy Johnson. He is a master at placement with all the soundstage work he has done in the past. Your room is tough. The Callisto's are bottom ported and can be close to the walls, but Roy would be the one to ask on placement. Maybe the new Pico would be better or the Europa. Good luck! http://www.greenmountainaudio.com/Speakers/BookshelfStandMounts.htm |
As mentioned not knowing your budget or if a sub can be incorporated. I would try the Revel M22, or Acoustic Energy Aelite 2, or if budget permits the Linn Akurate 212 which is an awsome sounding stand mounted speaker. Actually the Linn could probably satisfy the bass requirements of a smaller room without the sub. |
Zafrann, Some great suggestions posted. You might want to check out Ohm Micro series. There's a review on 6moons that might give you an idea if they'd work. 120 day home trial makes it nice to find out. Good luck. http://www.ohmspeakers.com/styles_microwalsh.cfm http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/walsh/micro.html Cheers |
I was thinking of a speaker that was reasonably priced and had great tonal balance. I admit I have never tried Maggie 1.6's in a room that small. One friend in my audio group has 1.6's in a spare room that's maybe 11 X 14 and they sound wonderful, maybe that's enough larger space to accommodate. In spite of reactions here, I would likely try them myself if faced with that space. If it sucked, I'd pull em out. If it worked, it would be a speaker I could live with, even at low volume level. |
