Hello everyone ....
I am in the difficult position of no longer having the floor space in my living room for my stand mounted ProAc Response 1SC speakers. I have a dedicated listening space in the basement, so I am prepare to compromise on my approach to providing stereo sound to fill the living room with music for back ground listening.
The difficulty is that I have a narrow-ish fire place (70 inches wide) with a high mantle (55 inches from the floor) which means that if I used in walls - they would have to sit well above the seating position in the wall above the mantle.
I note that the single review of the Martin Logan Voyage that I have read was extremely positive. They have tweeters which could be directed somewhat. Furthermore, I have the possibility of secreting a sub somewhere in the room .
My source for this room is a Linn Ikemi with Sugden amplification. Most of the music listened to in this space tends to be acoustic based - and the ProAcs absoutely sing with this kind of material.
Am I mad to consider this option? Am I missing some obvious other option that I have not considered?
Your thoughts would be kindly appreciated before I drive out of state to audition the Voyages.
Kind regards,
Ash
It doesn’t sound like you’re mad but have little choice but to go this route. I have not heard the Vantage—and obviously you will need to before deciding if it is for you—but at least on paper it seems to offer features that are important to you. I would also consider Magnepan’s wall mount speakers that are adjustable via hinges: magnepan.com
