Hey everyone, this is my first post.
My coffee shop is expanding this year, and I want great sound. I'm considering a Music Hall a15.3 driving two Ascend CBM-170s. Haven't decided about vinyl, though if I do it, I'll likely use an Audiotechnica AT-LP120
A few questions. The space is 16'W x 40'L x ~15'H. Are two speakers enough, and where should they go? I haven't decided whether I'll build the bar at the end of the space or on a side wall, though I'm leaning toward the side wall, in which case the glass door and two small windows will be opposite the bar. There is a large window at one end of the space.
I'm also building out a small relax/work space with a Fiio X1 into a four-channel preamp driving Sony MDR7506s to rent that will be somewhat insulated from the cafe audio and background noise, but I'd like to position the speakers/room in such a way that the speakers' effect on that space is diminished.
So:
-Do the components sound right for the money, or is there something cheaper and better?
-Are two speakers enough?
-Where should they go?
-Any recommendations for a good four-channel headphone preamp in the <$150 range?
Any other tips or considerations would be appreciated. Thanks so much for chiming in.
