Hi,
i am still searching for a pair of speakers for the living room and want to discuss about if a pair of Hifi-Speakers would fit better or a pair of Studio monitors would fit better.
Since i don't plan using an EQ (most music will be played with Bluetooth, no connection to a computer) i wonder which kind of speaker would better fit from it's frequency response. I would have to place the speakers relatively close to the wall (the front of the speaker would be about 55-60 cm from the wall, so the back of the speakers would be about 30 cm off the wall.
I am thinking about the Infinity R162 or the JBL LSR308P, which have both been tested here, but both have a very different frequency response in the bass region, so i wonder which would fit better.
I am wondering if the more flat response of the JBL LSR308P down to almost 40hz would be overpowering the low bass if the speaker stands so close to the wall. I could use the low frequency trim but would i then also loose too much upper bass? Or could it work out nice?
Would the Infinity sound nicer, warmer, because it has a slight upper bass peak? And would they fit the placement better because of the frequency response slowly falling below 100 hz? Would that fit better to the speaker standing close to the wall and give me a better, tighter low end but still deep and powerful?
I also read somewhere that with a speaker placement like i plan it there is usually a dip around 100 hz in the frequency response. If that's true, do you think the Infinities would fit better, because of their slight peak at 100 hz? I was even wondering if that is one reason why a lot of Hifi speakers have a slight peak at around 100 hz.
I then found this website to calculate the estimated frequency response and it also looks like i would get a dip around 100hz: https://www.hunecke.de/de/rechner/lautsprecher.html
Should i move the speakers even closer to the wall? Or does it make things worse?
What are your thoughts about it? Thank you sooo much in advance!
