Hello all,
I've been building a turntable system in my small home office - it's good to get away from my desk every 25 minutes or so and flip a record. The amp will be the Technics R-1000 which does a pretty hefty digital correction to the sound based on your cartridge. It's one of the more dramatic and pleasing corrections I've ever heard from an amp.
It's a small room just 9'x10', though it has a vaulted ceiling. It's designed so that I've got to listen from the short distance. For now I'm using simple Dynaudio standmounts- and they sound fine. But keeping their baffle 20 inches away from the wall behind them practically puts them in my lap and makes the room pretty unnavigable.
So I was thinking that the long term solution lie elsewhere. And the aesthetics of the system matter to me a great deal. And there are two directions I've thought of going in.
1) The first was in wall Sonus Fabers- the Palladio Level 6 PL-664s. I'd be willing to hide a subwoofer somewhere in the room to fill out the bass, as I've heard that's a problem with in-walls. I think this is the best aesthetic solution because the speakers with the full SF look will fit nicely into the gallery wall.
2) The Ohm Walsh omnidirectional speakers. which have a small footprint and are meant to be kept near the wall.
Both fit in my budget for this.
Have any of you been satisfied with a higher end in wall speaker for stereo sound? How did you get it to work?
I never hear anything but good opinions of Ohm Walsh speakers, which makes me wonder if I'm hearing from everyone who has an "acquired taste" for them.
