Ohhh, theyre active ones. Hmm, now this changes things. Gonna search for more about them, thanks!You wouldn't need an amp if you bought the Genelecs. Or have I misunderstood what you mean by "amp"?
I have a bit of a hard time visualizing that. Anyway:
1. Unless bass is not a major criteron, a 6.5" woofer is about the minimum here, you could also go 8" (Behringer B2031A, Kali LP-8, Mackie MR824 / XR824, Yamaha HS8), even 3-way 8" (Kali IN-8). You'd still have to interface those to your source(s) though - something with balanced outputs.
2. Any setup with speakers on one side of the room and listening position on the other is problematic - the wall behind the couch results in comb filtering due to strong reflections. Those would have to be addressed with acoustic panels on said wall. Bass would also be elevated due to boundary gain.
Mini image of the room (sorry-my first pixel art ...speakers on top, couch on bottom):
Klipsch have 4,5" but DSP that "bloats" the lows. But yes, I would prefer 6,5" driver cause I like deeper bass. 8" speakers would be too big I think, even those 6,5" are pretty big for my small room. There will be a rug on the floor, but Im not sure what to place on the wall behind the speakers/behind the couch. My wife would kill me if I tried making it look like studio, I doubt there are many of us in here who could do that haha.
Yes, these got my attention too, but cnet review sounds like theyre not worth the money in comparison to B6.2/UB5 (UB5 are twice as expensive as in U.S. in here!). I like the design, but Kef Q350 used to cost as much and are now much cheaper.ELAC DBR62?
