Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: ML's

> Actually, I use room thirds as a starting point for distance to front wall with dipoles to minimize room modes. 15' makes sense in your vast space. I think the real challenge is using comparatively small M-Ls in your 1600 sq ft room (mine is about a fourth that with an 8' distance to front wall).

My room is about 975 sq ft with low ceilings - see sketch. With 12-15 ft behind the speakers and nothing to reflect the rear-projected sound from, the MLs are simple not suitable. Increasing panel size would encounter the same problem - half the output is effectively wasted.

> Now a double pair of SL 922s or 945s might work exceptionally well. ;)

Not bloody likely! I baulked at Quad 2905s in my room (though they sounded better than the MLs), as barn doors in the middle of my room hardly add to the interior design. Peter

PS - Can't seem to be able to attach a Word or pdf document - any ideas?
