Goodmorning everyone. I write from Italy and follow this precious forum with interest; I am grateful for the enormous commitment invested by those who administer it and by the most assiduous collaborators.
I would like to install a hi-fi system in the living room, which is a room of about 27 square meters, with an open, irregular (non-parallel opposite) and reverberating shape, which has a 3.20 m high ceiling and which has a wooden floor and ceiling. This is a challenge, also because I am not willing to make an invasive passive acoustic correction (at the moment the reverberation time is around 0.8 seconds but I plan to improve it with carpet and some absorbent panels); however, I am aware that I will have to accept compromises on the acoustic result. I prefer different musical genres, generally not very dynamic, and I particularly appreciate an adequate restitution of the voices, as well as of the instruments.
My idea is to buy the Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 all-in-one, in order to take advantage of its active correction system and to have high power. Initially I would use Tidal and listen to my CD collection, converted lossless to digital, reserving a possible insertion of a cd player.
As for the speakers, my idea is to buy bookshelf speakers, with a list price of up to $ 6,000, with a frequency response that (prudentially) does not drop below about 55 kHz, then empirically checking for compatibility environmental with the insertion of a subwoofer.
I am considering one of these options (some I have already listened to):
- Q Acoustic 300 Concept
- Revel M 106
- Fostex GX100 BJ
Do you think that in relation to the size of the environment and its volume, the listening room can be adequately sounded with these speakers, even at medium listening volumes? Beyond the subjective preferences related to listening, do you think that some options are preferable, or that there are alternatives to consider?
Thank you
