Hi everyone,
considering to buy B&W 804 D3 (have no budget for the 803),
my living room + kitchen is 40x25 ft (1000sqft)
looking for opinions weather room size is too big for those speakers?
Thanks!
It depends on:
1) Distance. How far you sit from the speakers.
2) Volume. How loud do you listen at this distance.
3) How much bass you want.
With a pair of speakers like this (sensitivity of 89dB/w/m, max power 200W), you could get 100dB volume from 18FT distance using 200 watts of power.
But as everyone says, you won't get much bass from these towers and most towers (including B&W 802D3 which goes down to 35Hz @ -3dB) to fill the room.
However, if you don't care for much bass at all, then the 804D3 may do it for you.
