+1 bob_reynolds re: monitors/subs In anticipation of adding subs, I looked for a monitor with a large cabinet that would easily deliver down to 40 hz. This would facilitate better bass integration - especially, for a kickdrum that spans the cross-over point. Getting drums right, helps to provide PRaT. The advantage of a self-powered sub (or subs) is that they can be placed anywhere to adjust for room anomalies. Just like any speaker, they need good placement re: your listening chair.
Looking for speaker ideas.
Looking for speaker ideas and room size is 11 w x 16 l x 9 ft ceilings.....room has acoustical panels. Music ranges from Big Band , Blues, Rock.
Equipment so far is :
Wyred 4 Sound st-500
deHavilland Mercury Preamp
Sim audio phono pre
VPI Industries HW-19 mkIII GLOSS BLACK W/MOERCH UP-4 / Ortofon Black
Have looked at different Spendor , Proac, Totem speakers but not sure if those would work for the rock music and would a sub be needed with those if they would be able to play rock music ?
Budget is $2000-2500
