waynewicks Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Is there such a thing as too small a room for a speaker? I have inherited a pair or KLF-30's and wanted to put them in my work office. It is 12 X 14 feet and I was told the room is too small by a local audio box house. Could this be correct? I have a 100 watt Adcom and Tuner/Preamp and that is the extent of my system. Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Shomaker Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 If you don't have a whole bunch of stuff all over the room then they should sound pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 I once used a pair of cornwalls in a Dodge Tradesman. Sounded great. I hope that answers your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundthought Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Ha Ha Ha Good one, Trey.... My sentiments exactly. I have Khorns, Cornwalls, and RF7s in a 12x15 room. Sounds great. IMO. The key here was treating the room acoustically. In such a small space, early 2nd and 3rd order reflections coupled with standing waves are a primary concern. I suggest tapestries and/or acoustical panels for the wall that will be in front of the speakers. Also, treating the walls immediately adjacent to each speaker will greatly improve imaging. Putting plants in the corners can help keep the bass from loading up in each corner. If there is a drop ceiling, replace the existing panels with an acoustically superior panel or "floating ceiling" for better results, yet. If no drop ceiling exists, consider implementing one. Either way, they should sound great. Enjoy. Regards, John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
