Best small surround sound

[cameronc20]

Hi folks, I currently have a 5.1 kef q1 system. Unfortunately I am in a 18ft x 9ft room after a house move and the sound is boucing everywhere. So I need some tips in the best quality surround sound that is small I have tried the kef 2005 before and want this to be much finer quality thanks.

Can you post some pictures of your room / speakers how you have them now?

So you want HTS2005 size, but better quality than those all wall mounted or stands?

The sound bouncing around will still be sound bouncing around with smaller loudspeaker enclosures.

As above an idea of the room, room layout and room decor would be helpful.

Can I ask what AVR you are using as the room to?

It’s a Sony STR-DN790

The room isn't particularly large, so I don't feel its an underpowered issue and more of a setup issue although do I see a bed which could be causing some of the issues with the sound bouncing all around the room.

You might find if you try elevating the front three speakers a little more, they are not bouncing off the wooden frame. Also the distance between the three front speakers isn't ideal as its especially narrow, although there isn't much you can do with that other than move then out a little further

As for setting the room eq on the Sony, what reading has it given once you have re-run it in the new room?

Hi, yes I know the room is not ideal but the only option as I have just moved house and had the speakers already I could raise the front set however, and I just did the mic calibration I have touched the eq.

Try the q1 speakers wider apart.

Lots of bare walls isn't helping..Add.thicker curtains, large fabric lamp shade, add more soft furnishings if possible.

Thanks for the tips, I am going to go with Dali Spector 1s and move to the living room so I have a smaller easier to fit to the walls System but will bare the hints in mind

Will you buy the Spektor Vokal too? Notice some dealers have spektor in white finish like below forum advertiser while some sites doesn´t list it at all!!! Just thinking that if you wall mount them then the white could be quite nice. You can then hide the wires with white trunking aswell.

Great choice for small speakers that are easy to position. Unlike most other white speakers
on the market they have white grilles. Most other white speakers have black or grey grilles.

Yes I will be getting the Vokal too might get white not decided yet and yes seems to be the best speaker around at the size thought it would bridge the gap between the pretty large q1 kef and the small kef eggs

If you are planning to downsize we would be looking at the Gallo Acoustics Micro SE or A'Diva SE - lots of options in terms of finish to suit any decor.

We have them listed on our webshop but more detail is available on the manufacturer website.

As @cameronc20 suggest widening the Front LR positioning would make sense too.
