Hello. My first post so forgive me if it’s dumb! I’m designing a system for my living room, which has a fairly large volume and not-too-close listening distance.
The room is roughly 6.5m x 6.5m and has a high, non-uniform (vaulted) ceiling which I’m guessing ranges from 5m to 6.5m. This gives a rather large volume.
The speakers will be close to one wall and the listening position (couch) will be close to the other wall and have windows just behind it. It’s probably 5-5.5m speakers to listening.
Looking at the Genelec charts, nothing seems like it is really recommended. I don’t know what to make of this. Should I conclude that they would be a waste of money? Is the room a lost cause?
I’m mostly interested in the SAM (digital input) ones. I know those will let me do room compensation adjustments. But still, maybe this room is not so easily fixed, especially if I’m working against physics.
The other thing worth pointing out is that I don’t see listening at terribly loud volumes in general. The system will be used for movies/shows as well as music. I’m only interested in 2-channel stereo.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
