I'm looking to upgrade the system in my living room/lounge and would like some advice to help come up with a shortlist to audition. I've seen the similar threads that have come up in the past (including 'this thread on speakers' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42541)), and it seems like there are a lot of good options. Now I'm hoping to narrow down the choices based on the room specifics.
The room is about 13ft x 15ft (4m x 4.6m) with an 8ft ceiling, and because of the room arrangement the speakers will probably need to go along the longer wall, and cannot be placed more than a foot or so from the back wall. The hardwood floor is mostly covered with thick area carpet, and there is a mixture of soft and hard furnishings. We listen to various types of music, rock, acoustic, vocal, classical, although not much jazz. My budget is around US$1200 -- I don't feel obliged to spend that much, but I could exceed it by a little and be okay. I'm fine with going on the second-hand market such as Audiogon. And I should say that I'd be open to active monitors or amp+passive speakers. Thanks in advance for any insights. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61984 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
