Focal Vestia N3 or N4 for my room? (34 m² / 2.3 m listening distance)

Speakers - Full Size

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to decide between the Focal Vestia N3 and the Focal Vestia N4.

Here are my room dimensions and planned setup:

  • Dedicated listening area: 6.4 m × 5.3 m (about 34 m² / 365 sq ft)
  • Open-plan living room connected to the kitchen
  • Listening distance: 2.3/5 m (7.5 ft) from the front of the speakers
  • Distance between the speakers: 2.4 m (7.9 ft)
  • Distance from the rear wall: 45 cm (18 inches)
  • The speakers won't be placed in corners and will have some side clearance.

My usage:

  • 70% music
  • 30% movies

Music:

  • A lot of electronics music (EDM, HOUSE...)
  • Some pop and australian rock

Electronics:

  • Rega Planar 3
  • AMP (any advice ?)
  • Qobuz + Apple Music via Apple TV

The price difference between the N3 and N4 is only around €200 per pair, so budget isn't the deciding factor.

My only concern is whether the Vestia N4 might be too much for a 2.3 m listening distance, and the distance with the wall behind...despite the room being around 34 m².

Which would you choose for this room and why? Would the N4 be overkill, or would you still recommend it?

Thanks!
