So brief break down of what I'm working with. I've got a room in the house my wife has allowed me to do anything with. It measures 12x11 feet with 9.5 foot ceilings. I've basically turned it into my gaming room for my PC setup.
Lately I've been digging around researching what Hi-Fi speaker setup may work well in the small room, without being completely overkill but offering satisfying full range performance without a subwoofer. Initially I had in my mind on something like the Klipsch RP-600M II, until I realized how big they are for a bookshelf. So I have myself looking at things like the new ELAC Debut 3.0 6.5" for a 6.5" driver design its a fairly compact enclosure) The Klipsch RP-500M II, KEF Q150. None of which truly excel in bass extension. But given the room size, would that be in my favor for bass extension? Currently I am entirely on a headphone setup with a JDS Atom 2 stack, and Pro-Ject Debut Pro turntable with a Schiit Mani 2
My biggest potential issue is I don't have a lot of wall distance to place speakers. And some speakers need a lot of room to breath to perform well I understand that.
So with that all being said, speakers that have say a rated -3db around 50hz. Could that that actually be pushed lower in a small room? Or does it simply not work like that.
