Best Speaker Setup for Challenging Room Acoustics

Hey everyone,

I am working on putting together a streaming only audio system for a fairly large and acoustically tricky room — roughly 25’ x 21’ with 12’ ceilings. One entire wall is glass which I know does not help much with reflections or bass control.

I am not looking for a pinpoint listening sweet spot I do prefer an even, room filling sound that feels immersive from anywhere in the space.

I have always been skeptical about subwoofers due to overly boomy experiences in the past but I am warming up to the idea of using one or maybe two to help balance the low end. Thankfully, I have got an amp that can handle most speaker loads without breaking a sweat.

Would love to hear what speaker types or placement strategies you do recommend for a room like this or if there are any brands that particularly shine in open, reflective spaces.

Thanks in advance.

I have a similar room and run Pure Audio Project Trio 15 Classic with the Voxativ PiFe full range driver.
An easy recommendation that satisfies your needs as posted.
I run them with Pass Labs XA-25 and XP-22, they just coast along with 25 wpc class A amplification.

Should you be in Central Wisconsin an audition could be arranged.:blush:

Thanks so much for the recommendation.I really appreciate you sharing your setup. The Pure Audio Project Trio 15 Classics look fascinating and I have heard good things about Voxativ drivers. It is encouraging to hear they work well in a similarly challenging room, especially with that kind of open baffle design.

I am also intrigued by your amp pairing. I have read great things about the Pass Labs XA-25 and XP 22, especially for systems where musicality and smoothness are priorities. Sounds like a setup that just disappears and lets the music breathe.

I will definitely dig deeper into Pure Audio Project and see if their design philosophy aligns with what I am looking for. And if I ever find myself near Central Wisconsin, I might just take you up on that audition offer.

Thanks again for taking the time to share.

My seasonal home system provides a musical room filling presentation with out sacrificing inner detail. It just draws one into the music in a natural way.
