joeling Posted March 13 Posted March 13 The room in question is kind of small. It's a sort of a hobbyroom with a TV but I would like to use it to listen to some music as well. Room dimensions are 3250mm x 3530mm x 2666mm. Speakers will be placed along the 3250mm wall with TV in between. I am considering an Active ATC40a. Do you think these will over power the room ? I am unlikely to want to put up room treatment or anything of the sort but do have cabinets & shelves along both walls and back wall too. Any advice appreciated. Amp is likely a Naim 332 pre.
Satanica Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Try to get you chair off the rear wall as much as possible. Apply EQ to your measured bass problems. 1

I'm not sure how they would go in a smaller room Maybe try the 19s in your room, see how they go,then have listen to some 20s and see if worth while to upgrade? 1

So, 40 is acceptable is a 4m x 4m room ? There is hope yet. My house is still under rebuild only ready for handover mid April. Right now, I am working on stuff to populate the rooms. So many desires but so little money..... 1

Maybe 20a is the better choice. Looking at drawing vs the actual site brings things into perspective. The room is tiny & I want to squeeze a small workspace into it as well. 1
