Speaker choice for dance room

40 replies

Have you looked at Artcoustic before? The owner of the company Kim is also a DJ so he knows how dance music should sound. I work for a custom installation company and we deal with B&O, B&W, Triad, DefTech, Procella, Wisdom, Pro Audio etc. but I have to say the Artcoustic really handle dance music well. Have a look and if you want any more info let me know.

These would probably suit quite nicely http://www.artcoustic.com/Art_speaker_SL%20Series%20floor%20wall%20page.html

I don't think a speaker with a low freq extension of 65 hz -3 dB will be a very effective dance speaker. Lots of tiny drivers there.

Agreed but paired with one of these http://www.artcoustic.com/Product%20pages%20HTM/Spitfire%20SL%20Sub.html or http://www.artcoustic.com/Art_speaker_SL_Subwoofer%20page.html and then setup properly with their correct amplifiers http://www.artcoustic.com/Product%20pages%20HTM/PA250%20&%20PA750.html the result really is astounding. Just to clarify I don't work for Artcoustic but I hear a lot of speakers in my job role and for dance music these systems do really well. If you want the subs built in to the speakers then they even do these:

That's an approach I was going to mention but never got around to, using two or more subs to handle the bass and hopefully protect the sats. After all, there's really no limit to the number or size of subs you can use! Adjust them so that the bass is appropriate, not all run at full level (unless you want to of course!), but the more subs there are the less hard they have to work.

While it's not B & O, here are some high efficiency satellites and subwoofers from a US manufacturer you might want to consider  I'm tempted by the subwoofer and I have BeoLab 5s.

That's one of a very few subs I've ever seen that would actually outperform a pair of BL5s. 

How about four Beovox MS150's?

I don't think they would be powerful enough - the tweeters would probably sound harsh at very high volumes. I have seen M100s and M75s used in clubs but I seem to remember that they were being sold as the drive units were burnt out!!

B&O speakers are really designed for domestic use - I think you need professional units as listed above.
