Nice home btw.
Are Rear ported floor standing speakers are really that bad with less space behind it?
- Thread starter swamytk
- Start date
Thanks a lot for your kind words vivek
I designed the interiors myself..And planned the HT well in advance. So all the cables are well hidden. Though it is a 5.1.4 system presently. It is prewired for a 7.2.4 system.

Thanks again vivek
There is actually a completely mirrored wall next to it. That really adds a sense of space in a apartment. Though I don't unfortunately have many pics of the room as of now
I am now designing a hifi rack for my system, which looks identical to this . Will share my build thread once Iam done

You are sitting 10 ft away, which isn't particularly far wrt directional mids and highs. Room volume matters for bass, which is omni-directional.
Wow!! Nice neat setup and beautifully appointed interiors.
If I were to anthropomorphize the setup it would be like this:
- the TV screen are the eyes with a wide shades on them
- the towers the ears
- the center channel speaker the nose, the black band below a straight mustache
- and finally the AVR like the tongue sticking out
BTW, why are the stickers on the TV still on?

Thanks for your very kind words raghu...I feel really happy when someone appreciates my interiors. Especially so, because it was designed by myself on a very tight budget, and I only gave a material and labour contract, keeping a firm grip on the costs. It was never a money no object room. I had to be very careful to get the expensive look for peanuts. And anyone would be surprised to know how much it costed in the end. Hence my joy and delight
Those are some old pics, almost 2 years old now . The stickers are gone now I can assure

By the way I forgot to mention. The AVR is actually inside the flat rack, which is a old marantz SR6011. The silver box sitting on the floor is the parasound halo integrated. Being driven via its HT bypass inputs from the marantz, driving the Qacoustics concept 40 speakers for HT and music. The parasound was a after thought. Otherwise would have built a bigger rack to accommodate that too
Why dont you buy a front ported FS like polk etc?
I think I owe a apology to swamytk for hijacking his thread. Iam really sorry bro. Didn't know the thread would get derailed..So I will keep quiet now. Fondly hope our experienced forum members can give you the advice you are looking for . Sorry again..And bye
My paradigm monitor 11s are rear ported (2 ports each) and kept about 5 inches from the wall . It's not a big issue as other FMs have pointed out, set your speakers to small and control the bass using tone controls. Add a good sub, it will be fine.
Awesome work! Your hardwork shown in every inch of interior.
No worries, buddy. Cool. Your picture is helpful for me and I am feeling good. I am in a rented apartment. I know the pain in laying out even a simple casing capping for speakers and TV cables. You deserve appreciation. Cool.
I am shortlisting well reviewed Front speakers for auditions. They are all rear ported FS
@swamytk
With a 23 feet wide wall where the TV is hosted, the worry of side wall reflections are not there.
But do pay attention to the 12 feet distance between front (TV side) and back (seating side) walls.
Your stereo speakers are down ported, if I am correct. They are relatively benevolent when it comes to placement.
Ping someone local and borrow a rear and/or front ported BS speaker pair.
Then hook it up to your IA and hear the room response at various speaker positions.
Then extrapolate how FS may excite your listening space.

Thanks. It makes sense. Let me try to do the same.

I think small FS like Dali Zensor 5 will work best. Larger ones might have issues.
Also biggest in a series may not be the best.
The Z5 was rated more musical than the Z7 by one or two reviewers. Same was for some of earlier Monitor Audio series.
That said, I love the look of bookshelves on nice dual pillar stands. FS look dull in comparison.
