Hi all,
I just LOVE my combo of Accuphase E-350 and (heavily modified) Sonus Faber Grand Piano. After years and years of going back and forth with all kinds of eqpt, this turned out to be the magic combo for me. Couldn't be happier. The set is placed in my 8 x 4m party room/amateur home studio. I mainly listen to 70s/80s bass driven music (JA, UK based) - producers such as Lee Perry, Adrian Sherwood and Bill Laswell are amongst my faves. This music has many layers, so positioning and placement is important to get the most out of it. Also, bass should be equally deep and clear (not boomy).
Now, I've been looking to get a 2nd set in order to create a similar listening experience in my smaller living room, but having tried, this combo is just too much for my 3,60 x 3,40 metres 'listening part' of the room. Therefore, I would like to ask some help...
Room specs: Distance from wall to couch is 2,5 metres. On the left hand side there's a wall; an 'empty' (20 square metre) space is on the right hand side. I have a 1,5 metre TV cabinet in the middle of the 3,40m wall.
I have now purchased an Accuphase E-211 and I'm looking for a good (compact) speaker match. They should be pretty insensitive in terms of placement, given the room specs.
I got a feeling for the KEF LS-50, but do have doubts over whether I'm gonna be able to get the best out of those given my circumstances. Any suggestions would be much appreciated ;-)
