Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Small rooms


That really depends on the speakers involved. Some "floorstanders" can be small enough that they're essentially tall bookshelve speakers.

But in a room that small, smallers speakers are generally perferred by a lot of people. I've heard small speakers put out BIG sound in room that size. And small speakers can definitely have convincing slam in a room that size, but that's my opinion...I don't know what you consider to be good slam.

I can't give you an answer, really, because you don't really give enough info. But the best thing, if it's at all possible, would be to try some smaller speakers in your room. Unless your floorstanders are really slender, the smaller ones will offer more flexibility in placement. Also note that a smaller speaker for the same money may be better because there's much less part and materials involved, and a lot of times they're not meant to play as loud. This could mean that a smaller speaker of the same price might have better qualities. Emphasis on the word "could".

Take care,
