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