    Pairing help for a rookie and a small room

    Greetings, Audiokarma community. A few weeks ago I became curious about setting up my own stereo system since a friend of mine gave me a record player, and it seems to be in good shape. I've been reading forums and looking reviews about all types of hifi equipment (mostly receivers and speakers)...

    Speakers for good sound in a bad room.

    A lot of people have a room in which it is impossible to install speakers in the right way with normal distances to the front wall and side walls. Even if you have a good listening room, you may have a bedroom or a TV room where it is not possible to install speakers with spare space. But at...

    When you love your children equally

    So I am happy to say that I have two systems, both of which make me very happy: one is solid state, the other tube-based. I have a small office/guest room where I use this stuff, and I guess I would like to use the solid state for more contemporary stuff like Bruce Springsteen or Fleetwood Mac...

    I need some seat-knowledge experts to assist me on selecting 2 sets of speakers to upgrade my speakers. My music room (stereo room) is 9' x 9' and so it is tight... so? The image uploaded shows my core systems of (2) Sansui and (1) Pioneer Amps. Both my Dual 1229's have failed now and I will be...

    "Big speakers in small room is bad," myth or reality?

    I have read many times that big speakers in small room is a bad thing, because those big speakers need 'breathing room' that they won't sound optimally in small room. But is that true? I knew about drivers' coherence issue; that with certain loudspeaker models, the drivers are set apart from...

    What are some good options?

    I'm considering buying new speakers, either bookshelf or stand-mounted. They would be for a small room (8x9 ft) with not a lot of placement options and would be connected to a Primaluna Prologue Five. I want something versatile and reasonably bassy (not crazy bassy though). I'm considering...

    Best speakers for Yamaha CR-420 in a small apartment?

    I have a fully-professionally-restored CR-420 receiver and wondering if anyone has advice on a great speaker pairing that won’t break the budget (under $500/pair, preferably under $200/pair) that will be a nice fit? I currently have some Bose 201 series V and they sound really hollow/tinny in...

    My Small Cave Acoustic Problem

    I am lucky to have a detached garage that I have been slowly converting into a music room. The building was permitted and finished when I bought the house....It was used as storage (?!) by the people that lived here. ROOM: 10' wide x 19' long finished foot print. 14' tall vaulted ceiling, but...

    Harbeth M30.1 or Focal Diablo in a small room?

    Hi all, My room is 9’x 11’ with a 4’x 6’ bed and so my chair is basically in the middle of the room. The speakers are about 5 ft apart, 12 inches from the front wall and 20 inches from the side wall. My head is about 5 ft from the speakers, and 4 ft to the back wall. Since the speakers are...
