... with typical two-way speaker designs. I just could'nt get far enough away from the speakers (allowing for 2' behind, 1 1/2' at the sides of speakers, and listening seat almost up against the rear wall), or give the speakers enough room. A 10' x 15' room is the minimum size for comfortable listening and good sound with typical speaker designs, I think. You seem to be stuck on the Reynaud brand, so go for it if you must. But I will say that if I had to do the small room thing all over again, I would try to "think outside of the box". My first thought would probably be, "How can increase the speaker-to-ear listening distance in this small room?". There are some good sounding speakers in production today that are designed for cramped listening arrangements, but few of them enable soundstaging and space-saving like the Magnepan MC-1.
