What speaker should I choose?
To choose a speaker, you should consider the following:
• Room Size
• The volume level you most likely prefer to listen to
The choice of speaker will always be up to your personal preferences, whether you like to listen to the music in loud or low volume, or have a big room or small one. There are speakers in different size for your choices, such as bookshelf, stand mount and floor standing monitors.
Generally small speakers sound better in smaller rooms, and larger speakers sound better in larger rooms. A small room will have higher resonant frequencies, and the bigger the speaker, the more energy will be produced around the room's resonant frequencies, which can produce an unpleasant overblown bass. Whereas a smaller speaker such as V2104 or S7R will not produce the same low end energy, and will sound far more controlled in a smaller room.
If you have a larger room available smaller speakers will still work well, but a larger speaker will have a more extended low frequency response and because a larger room has lower resonant frequencies, it is unlikely to be upset by a larger speaker.
These are only guidelines. The best way to select a speaker is to listen to it, preferably in your own listening room if possible and decide for yourself. If you think a speaker sound good, it sounds good, whether it abides by the above guidelines or not.
