Hi All,
Although an audio enthusiast for a long time, there are many things I have not quite grasped the concept of.
For example, I am looking for speakers that will work in my small room. (10' x 12' but with a 12' tall ceiling !!!)
I have used stand mounted Spica's and felt I was lacking just enough bass to make the experience frustrating and also Thiel CS2 2's that overloaded the room and had neighbors knocking at my door.
The thing is, I can't do without bass, but woofers too close to the floor cause the people below me to complain.
I have 2 integrated Arcam amplifiers (75 watts into 8 Ohms, 140 into 4 Ohms) and plan to bi-amplify my speakers. The Delta 290 and the matching Delta 290P which is specifically designed to bi-amplify a set of speakers.
What I need is a recommendation for a speaker that I can play somewhat low but still have well defined bass. Of course the mids and treble have to be extremely good as well or I will quickly be wanting to change speakers again.
I know I am asking alot but if someone can recommend a pair of speakers that work well in a small room I would be very grateful. I was thinking maybe the Rega RS5? They can benefit from bi-amplification and I think I read they work well in small rooms. Also, the PSB T6 is fantastic but not necessarily perfect for small rooms.
I DON'T want to go the subwoofer route if I can avoid it. I would like to utilize the 2 amplifiers I already own.
Oh, my budget is between 1-2K. Preferably somewhere in the middle as I also need a record cleaning machine. Again any and all comments are welcome and greatly appreciated.
