I have been doing quite a bit of research as I contemplate building my next set of speakers. One of the areas I need to better understand is how to correctly size speakers for a given room size.
My 2-channel setup is in a 28' x 30' x 9' room which is around 7500 cu/ft. The listening distance is 10' from the speakers. There is no HT usage in this room. The current setup includes the Modula MT speakers and a sub which I built to explore the sat/sub route. I have now decided I want to eliminate the sub and build a set of full range main speakers. I also want to significantly enhance the listening experience with improved dynamics and bass at a higher volume level (~90-105db)
Are there some basic criteria which can be suggested to ensure that the proper driver configuration and size are selected for a given size room? Additionally, what characteristics are more important in a music only rig than with a HT setup?
Thanks for any input and I'd really like to hear some discussion on this topic.
