Speaker/room matching advice

Posted by milo10 (A) on October 5, 2014 at 09:32:04

Want to set up a 2 channel system in our great room. 17' wide by 35' long. There are two separate seating areas so not trying to fill the entire room. Planning to have the speakers near one of the long walls aiming across the short dimension with seating position about 12 feet from the speakers. Closest side wall would be about 5' from the left speaker and no side wall on the right. The front of the speakers could be up to 3 feet from the rear wall. Just for grins I've set up my old Rogers LS3/5/As (original 15ohm from 1977) with an old Audionics CC2 amp, Odyssey Tempest preamp and Ah Tjoeb CD player. Obviously no bass but otherwise not too shabby. Not really interested in adding a sub at this point but would be more interested in a more full range stand mounted monitor to keep an uncluttered look as this is a living and entertaining area for us. Would like to stay under $1500. I've been out of the audio loop for a while but in I've read about the LSA monitors and the Vapor Breeze. No chance to audition these but wonder if anyone has an idea of how they might work in this sort of space? Any other ideas welcome. Should mention that music interests are wide ranging jazz, classical and some rock. Thanks, Jim
