In Reply to: Apartment Living. Need Suggestions For Speakers Placed Near Front Wall posted by Mister Pig on September 28, 2015 at 12:04:23:
Thanks for the thoughts and suggestions all. Yes this is an upstairs apartment, and the front wall is a shared wall with the person next to us.
The small British and Euro speakers seem like a safe bet. Actually a lower sensitivity speaker might work out better in this application as I won't have to worry about large dynamic swings getting the sound too loud.
I think a small form factor floorstander might be the easiest speaker to place and have it be safe. This wall has the front door adjacent to the speakers, so you you have to walk past the one speaker to enter the living room. A stand mount would be far easier to knock off its perch, and the results could be horrific.
I have wondered about the newer generation Totem speakers, and how they could function in this environment. From what I can tell they have a bit softer voicing that might be easier to live with in a semi near field listening arrangement. Although a speaker with controlled directivity on the tweeter could perhaps thrive in this environment, especially if the crossover point is a bit lower. Since the speaker is going to be located near the wall, what i don't want is substantial bass response, as that might create problems with the apartment next door.
Guess I should start considering what to do with my Hawthorne Trio's......
