KG2230 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hi there, I have a tiny space (12x13ft), a Marantz 2230 in excellent working order, a diverse and much-loved vinyl collection....and a grumpy upstairs neighbor. Any suggestions on a set of Klipsch speakers that will sound great with the receiver and in the space? I'm not averse to spending a chunk for the right product that will last, but I'd rather not shell out or devote a lot of space for power that I don't need / can't use without risking an angry knock through the ceiling 😬 Also, currently sheltered in place with retail closed in my city, so I don't have the option to try things out in person ☹️ Any suggestions very welcome! Thank you in advance! ❤️🎵 KG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeloManiac Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 A nice set of Heresy speakers placed in two corners is a life long, future proof investment. Great deals can be done with the excellent Heresy IIIs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason str Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Some efficient loudspeakers and big sub will nearly drown out any complaining grumpy neighbors lowering blood pressure thus increasing longevity. Worth every penny. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Heresy IVs. Enough bottom no subwoofer needed. I'm powering mine with a Technics SA-300 (35 wpc). I find this return to basic 2-channel system to be a complete delight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oros Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 After much experimentation in my small space with various speakers. (Wharefdale Diamond 10.1, B&W 303, B&W 600, Boston Cs 23) I settled on the Klipsch R-14m now superseded by the R-41m everything else overloaded the room. These do a terrific job, sound great at low volumes, even played loud they do not upset my neighbour, who is a bat of note. Using a Cambridge Audio Sonata AR 30 receiver. Everything else I used had bass bloom and sounded awful because of the small space. In the small space the bass is more than enough. On a larger space they are lost and rip your ears off. I sit right on top of them they image perfectly, have great detail. and just put a smile on my face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are the best! Keep being excellent to one another, and take good care! Thanks again, Kathryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I bought myself a pair of RP-600M as surround speakers but have them hooked up in my study now.The room is about the same size as yours and they sound great [emoji106] Your Marantz will have enough power to drive them properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
