Hasse Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi, After thirty years of waiting I'm finally getting a man cave and the only problem left is choosing a good sound system! The room is pretty small only 11ft across. Is the room too small for the larger packages RP280 or RP250? I've read that the speakers might be too large to produce good sound in smaller rooms, but I do want the richer and deeper sound which I guess the larger speakers are better at? Please help a novice, can I go with the larger speakers or is the rp160 a better choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyIdaho Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 My living room is about that size and for my 5.1 I have two pairs of RP-160Ms and RP-250C and R-110SW. More than enough power and range for the size of the room. Many people on here always push for the biggest you can afford lol. I was being realistic and am very happy, originally I had the RP-260F as fronts and traded down to the RP-160Ms, sounds more balanced to my ears. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasse Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi! Thanks for the replies! The room is 11ft x 26ft and the height is only 7.2ft (it's in the cellar). Money isn't an issue, but if a smaller system will produce better sound for the rooms dimension 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyIdaho Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 That room is pretty long though if you're using it all, know the listening distance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasse Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 We just remodeled the room by moving a doorway so now we can place the TV on the short end of the room! I was thinking of placing the sofa about 13 feet from the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
