I am contemplating a new set of speakers for music reproduction.
For deliberation will be a 2.1 sealed enclosure system.
Listening Room Dimensional Parameters:
Depth = 148”
Width= 140”
Ceiling height = 108”
Face of baffle will be 20” off of front wall.
Ear position will be 120” off of front wall.
After surveying drivers to use as a woofer along with some tweeters for the 2-way portion of this design, I came up with the following combinations to choose from or advise against:
Visaton B 2oo / Dayton RST28F
Visaton B 200 / SB Acoustics SB29DAC-C000-4
Wavecor WF166TU02 / SB Acoustics SB29DAC-C000-4
Fountek FW146 / Hiquphon OW1
For the subwoofer portion of the design, the Peerless 12” 835017 looks like a decent candidate.
General Considerations and Approximations:
Sometimes, I may Listen at ~ 92 dB. In round numbers there is ~ 10 -12 dB drop due to distance.
Therefore, output will need to be ~ 104 dB
Thus power amp requirements will be around 65 watts for Spl of 86 and 25 watts for Spl of 90.
I am undecided as to passive or active crossover. Leaning toward active, but I haven’t done much research lately to see what’s available.
