Hi audio people!
Last year I posted a topic to get some advise on buying the Marantz MCR610. I bought it and I have been very happy with it. (thanks!)
I also asked for advise on buying new speakers. The Q Acoustics 2050i were recommended because they are easy to drive. I almost bought them but didnt because of their large size.
My old Sony speakers (found them here: http://www.orangedove.co.uk/sony-ss-nx1-speakers-n86.html) from a 12 years old miniset are still working but I'ts time for some better quality speakers.
The Sony's are not small, they are big shelf speakers (they are placed on the floor though..) I can't find anything about their sensitivity, but when I put it up too much I sure will hurt my ears. So, I'm wondering what's the deal with easy to drive speakers. Will they just go a lot louder? Don't really understand this part. If I have to put the volume on 24 instead of 18.. well what's the problem.. I don't think my Sony speakers are that sensitive, but they go loud enough.
My livingroom is not that small (36m2) but it has a long shape (11 m long). See here: http://nl.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=nq1l43&s=8#.VOuEMC7p9Ft
The red area is where the speakers are, next to the white cabinet. The opposite wall with couch is only 3.5m away. So the speakers need to just fill up the seating part of the livingroom, about 23m2 I think. I live in an apartment, so no party-volumes. Normal listening, background, sometimes a bit louder.
I have been reading reviews on speakers like q acoustics concept 20's, dali zensor 3's. But I first would like to more about the sensitivity - dB.
Thanks!
