Let me try to "clarify overpower"I was not speaking of the speakers from a visual sense; placement is not an issue in the room. Over time and with many different speakers I have found the general spot in the room for a pair of speakers and the corresponding listening location.
My concern regarding the 5's is if the extended bass response (as compared to the Quatro's) will be too much for the room size.
The Wilson Sophia's (and to a lesser extent Vandersteen 3A Sigs) excite a standing wave that is around 45htz in my room. Due to the 5's bass extension I am concerned if this may be an issue. I would assume that the bass adjustment capabilities of the 5 will help, but I am looking for others actual experience with 5's and Quatros's and their listen impressions.
Thx
