Hi,
I (will have) have the following setup in my office for music
KEF LS50 metas
CA Azur 851a
in a room about 3m x 4m with normal height ceiling (bit less than 3m). It will be sat under the desk (speakers sat on the desktop) and I don't have a huge amount of flexibility in regards to placement (though if its really necessary I have space in front of the desk (behind where I sit) and off to the left (facing the desk).
now I'm actually waiting on the LS50s still and am using some Q150s as a stop gap for now but I think in terms of bass response there isn't going to be a massive difference. Its not like I'm switching to some floor standers later. I had alway figured I'd add a sub later in any case...
I was originally just going to go with a BK Elec Gemini II (and speaking to them on the phone they think the Gemini is plenty for this small room). In another thread (before I bought the rest of the system) when asking for recommendations for the main system I was recommended to consider a REL T5i instead of the Gemini.
Having read several reviews though I'm really not sure if the REL is going to be better than the Gemini. A lot of the posts though recommending BK seem to be quite old and many from members no longer on site.
Ideally I'd like to keep size down to something about Gemini/T5i sized but I'm open to considering other options too. Downfiring would be better though to avoid the driver getting kicked (or attacked by the kids).
Thanks!
