Hello good people. You need to clarify the difference between AREA and VOLUME. Room size is Meters square or m2 witch means length x width, so 3x4,5m is 13,5 m2 NOT 30m3. This is known as AREA. Room VOLUME or m3, is width x length x height, and is referred to as Cubic meters.
@@FRCVIDS Both! the guy simply mixes them up, when you talk about room size you can mean both area AND volume. Its like saying that guy is huge!, does that mean tall, heavy or both? - you need to clarify. When he says room size, he means room volume (width x height x length). I am an audio engineer and we usually mean room area, when we say room size (width x length) because most house rooms usually have about the same height.
Well I have the biggest Genelec Ones (8361A) in a very small room. I believe there’s no such as speakers too big for a room. It’s more about monitoring TOO LOUD in a small room. Top quality larger speakers are more enjoyable a medium low volume. Mixing and Mastering at low volume on quality large speakers are even better because you’ll be able to monitor bass frequencies in greater detail and accuracy.
Well, I got a small room with BIG speaker (JBL4435) oh, they are used in monitoring and mastering room. Thus, very small room. With these and others, you'll have a better listening experience at low to very low volume. Forget the nodes and all the rest, listen with your ears they won't deceived you.
Finally i found the best place for my query. Can you please help me with my query. Im using denon 4700h amplifier. My room size is 20*13*9.can you suggest best speaker brand for this room 1) kef q650..q350..q150 2) klipsch 620f.. R52c.. R51m 3)monitor audio bronze series 5) qaccoustic 3090..3030..3020 6) elac debut series
These are all incredibly different sounding speakers, the sound signature of each speaker is going to play a bigger role than there performance in terms of room size.
My room is medium (4 * 5 m2) and I am thinking about a pair of bookshelf speakers. would a 5 inch (e.g. Yamaha HS5) be good? Or do you recommend HS7 or even 8?
Unfortunately we dont have access to those Yamaha speakers so we cant tell you for sure, but my generally in a room that size for Bookshelves I would say the HS7 would be more in line with what you might want. Your best bet to know for sure would be to get in touch with your local Yamaha dealer. :)
Hello I am from Argentina. My room is 6.5 meters length *4.5 meters width * 2.45meters height and in a few days more I would like to buy the Monitor Audio Silver 200 7G and already have a Monitor Audio Radius 380 (subwoofer)? Do you think is enough? or would it be much better to buy the Monitor Audio Silver 300 6G (in my range price)? This last ones are big in space in my opinion.... I have only 3 days to decide. Thanks a lots!!!!
I think you could use both the MA Silver 100 or Silver 200 in a room that size if your sitting away from the speakers, the Silver 50s would work well in a nearfield setup in a room that size too.
Hey man my room is 5meters length *3 meters width * 4meters height and so much time i was looking for florstaders so you think its a bad idea ?🙏🙏🙏 And what speaker's i have to take?😕 I want the maximun cinematic experience for mmy leaving room please little help!!!
I wonder if anyone else is reading this ... My room is about 20m2. Convince me, really, to use bookshelf speakers. I plan to buy the ML ESL 9 or 11a (slightly towards 11) I listen at low volume. I've never had a small speaker before. From the beginning of my audio history, I had floor standers, maybe not too big (5 inches mid woofer), but standing on the floor. I have a lot of power because I even thought about ML ESL 13a 😂😂😂 Now I have come to the point where my heart says YES, you want it, you need it, but my mind after all the movies I saw on YT tells me that I will regret it, I think. Due to the size and weight of the speakers, I cannot bring them to my apartment to listen to them being played and return. 😢Both have 8" bass driver, so this will by huge improvement, and it pushes me as I mentioned before to ESL 11a due to ARC onboard. So, task is simple, please convince me, to not to buy floor standing speakers.
I don't think you'll regret the speakers with the larger 8" drivers at all. I have always felt speakers with larger drivers can fill the room with a pleasurable sound much easier than the little bookshelf ones. The real problem with large drivers is the detail you'll get out of them. They have more mass and they require way more power to be driven accurately at a good sound pressure level. If your amplifier is up to the task I would go for it.
@@alexandrefernandes6286 Thank you very much for the answer :) In my particular case, I have at least 500W into 8Ω per channel, but it seems that anyway I will decide on the 11a model which already has an active bass section. Thanks again for your help in making a decision, or rather in confirming me that it was right :)
@@kradziey I didn’t understand you were talking about Martin Logan speakers. You WILL love their detail, even at very low volume. I can’t afford them but my uncle has a pair of slightly older ML and they sound sooooo good, no matter how loud or quiet you want to listen to your music.
@@alexandrefernandes6286 I didn't want to say directly what kind of speakers they were. I wanted an objective opinion about placing such large speakers in a room of such dimensions. For some it is a small space, for others a large :) I took care of a solid dose of power, but for me speakers are also not a small expense, and I do everything including looking for opinions so that they do not turn out to be an expensive mistake ;) Thank you again
You could potentially run into some issues if the room isn't treated correctly, particularly at high volumes. I haven't had the opportunity to listen to these speakers myself however so this is speculation based on the speaker's specs.
My room is 6 metres x 3 metres x 2.43 metres tall. Total: 43.74 sq metres. I'm concerned that my existing B&W 804 D3 towers are too big for the room size. Would I be better off getting the B&W 805 D3 stand mounts? By adding a sub to the stand mounts (2.1), isn't the sub going to over-pressurise the room too? Thank you.
Unfortunately we have not had the chance to listen to these particular speakers so we cant really help. We hope you can find the information you are looking for!
@@living_entertainment ok..may be like this?!.. floor standing with Atoms speaker setup can be use as front L & R for a room of 11ftWidth x 16ftDepth x 8ft height???

I don’t mean to be rude, but who are you and why should anyone trust your advice? There’s no references to scientific studies in your video. Acoustic Insider says to buy the biggest that can fit (physically) in your room without compromising on listening position. I want to buy a pair of HEDD Type 20s for my 235x370cm room, which is 245cm in height. But, you’re all confusing the fook out of everyone. Can nobody give a real answer with science/case studies?
We aren't in the business of science, our entire channel is based on our first-hand experiences with Hi-Fi and what we personally hear. If all you are interested in are numbers there are plenty of other sources you can reference for information. While yes, there is a lot of merit to the idea of getting the biggest speakers you can fit in your room that is always going to be speaker-dependent, for example, we had a pair of Monitor Audio Platinum 300 in our listening room and they overloaded the room even at low volumes meaning we had to then also do a lot of very special and deliberate acoustic treatment to the room to negate that. It also doesn't take into account a customer's budget, should a customer in a smaller room invest in lesser quality floorstanders when they could get higher quality bookshelf speakers for the same price? The speakers you are referencing are also studio monitors which usually require a different placement to hi-fi speakers as they are generally designed around nearfield listening for sound mixing at a desk as opposed to hi-fi speakers which are almost universally engineered around the idea of the listener sitting meters away on a lounge. If you are looking to set up a room for audio engineering work as your choice of speakers implies, regardless of if it's for video content or for music then the contents of this video don't really apply to your situation and you need to be researching setting up an audio mixing space instead of a hi-fi listening space.

Square meters or cubic? I think you mean cubic
yeah, he meant cubic... 35m^3 is roughly the size of the room he mentioned (3*4.5) multiplied by the height of about 2.5m.
Just the room volume lxbxh
Thank you sir for pointing that out. I've done the calcs and his dimensions don't add up in metres sq
Room volume is not measured in meter squared .. some confusion there
What about 10 small speakers in small room?
My room is 30m2 (6x5 meters2), so what about bookshelf KEF R3? I Love this loudspeakers alot
that should work really well
any budget setup for a 12ftx17ftx12ft height room, about 200-400 budget. TIA
