My question is, the room is large (20’ x 20’ x 22’ high) and not setup ideally for listening with a large tv in the corner and not allot of options for adding high quality speakers. There is lots of room behind the tv to place an equipment rack for the Rotel preamp, lk280 and whatever roon endpoint streamer I would add. I can’t come up with any great options for speakers, currently there is a Sonos playbar and a Sonos sub, both of which I’m selling, just tired of Sonos quality in general.
So what speakers might I add? Since it is also a main tv room, a soundbar dows “fit” below the tv, as pictured, however the Sonos playbar is just “ok” with Roku sourced TV material. I could possibly add a “better”, more musical soundbar, if such a thing exists, or maybe I don’t replace the soundbar at all, but rather simply add two of the best 2 channel conventional speakers I can come up with, maybe placed to the right and left of the tv, again, see room photo. As you can see there’s not allot of room for speakers, but the room is large so I need something capable of sufficient volume but more importantly I want something more beautiful musically and a good match for the LK280 and whatever streaming source I end up with. I could possibly place two tall thin speakers one on each side of the tv on the cabinet, it can be no wider than about 6” and up to 36” tall. I also thought about the possibility of placing two speakers sitting on the hearth, but I don’t think wife would accept any candidates in this location because of aesthetics.
I am open to all ideas!
The main spots for listening (and viewing) are the two blue recliners and the couch. And, to make things even more challenging is the room pictured opens to the kitchen and also the kitchen keep, so as I said, the ability for speaker candidates that have the capability to be “room filling” with LK280 amp would be ideal and I’m prepared to invest if some great candidates exist!
Thanks everyone in advance! Steve
