Hi all
I am looking at a pair of LS60’s for our new kitchen but am after some advice from those more knowledgeable than I.
The speakers would be placed along a wall that is 2.3m away from a 3m island which is standard uk height, 0.9m. They would be pointed toward the island and I would mainly be listening from the other side. The wall behind the speakers and to the right of them is primarily glass.
1. Given the LS60 tweeter is approx 0.8m high, would this likely result in a lot of the sound energy hitting the island and greatly impacting the sound that reaches me?
2. With the amount of glass in the room, plus the island, would having a speaker like the LS60 be a bit pointless? As in, unlikely to ever really reap the full benefits. I’m not expecting audio perfection as the room and listening position are far from ideal but if it’s going to sound fairly naff regardless of speaker, I may as well save my money.
3. Listening position would be around 4m away. I’m not looking to rock out but having read comments on other threads, are these speakers likely to have enough juice to provide good volume levels? I would say I’m looking for around 80dB-85dB average listening level.
Home audition is not an option. That would be my ideal way of answering all these questions!
Thanks
