Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Best choices for smallish room

Based on forty years of experience with planar speakers, and Maggies in particular, I think your room is too small for 1.6s or 1.7s. MMGs would probably work, MG-12s maybe. The original Quads and Stax ESL F-81s would probably also work.
Vandersteen 1Cs could work although I can't say that I love that loudspeaker.

Out of the advice offered below I guess I'm more in sync with genugo than anyone else although I would emphasize close-to-wall friendly over corner friendly. I think smallish monitors that don't need a ton of free air space around them (like the Gurus) are probably your best bet.
