Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Didn't BBC mix a little symphony music now and then?

The LS3/5A has the same lack of bass in a big room as in a little room (give or take a hair). Then there is simply the noise problem. You can't sit 4 meters away from these speakers in a huge room. You won't hear much.

You suggested the near field approach, which i also enjoy a lot. Here's another suggestion for a huge room. Set them up 6 -8 feet apart in the middle of the huge room. Now, walk around the speakers in every direction. The LS3/5A has some of the magnificient dispersion and imaging at the same time. Walking around the speakers gives a different interpretation at many different points. I really love to do this. I guess you could jog and kill two birds with one stone.

Anyway, try it. But it only works with some minis. The Stirling LS3/5A V2 is one I can vouch for, from experience. I am not so sure about the Harbeth or Spendors re-makes. The Harbeth came pretty close, but the room was too small to really tell.
