Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Find out the frequency where your room's gain takes off in the deep bass.

Half the longest diagonal, see Tomservo's posts here at AA.

If it has a floating floor and dry-wall (gyprock in cardboard over timber frames) go with sealed speakers whose bass alignment and roll-off F3 can use that gain & slope best.

If the room has highish bass gain, due to stiffer and thicker walls/floor try reflex (ported) spkrs.

The difficulty with small rooms is more bass modes and dips, careful positioning can deal with some of the problems.

Good 2-ways (stand-mounts or floor mounts) with a 7 to 8 inch frame main driver are IMO a better choice than two minis, or two minis with one sub because of the extra integration and positioning issues, especially if the sub doesn't match your room-gain slope.
