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.
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.
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.
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.
