Dave,

I have 52s, pre SE. I'm looking for good low end without the sub woofer. What I have is fine with the 52s crossed to a sub at 60hz. I'd like a little more open top end. I'd like better tone at low volume. The change is to get the best match for the new room when we move.

This will be my primary listening area. The room will have wall to wall carpet with a dense pad. I plan on sound absorbtion on first reflection points and diffusion elsewhere, mainly the wall behind your head. I agree that the Dyns would work on the short wall. I've yet to draw a successful floorplan that covers all needed functions using the short wall. The space needed by the Dyns means you would end up with a very small very nearfield sweet spot if the speakers are on the long wall. I need good sound for more than one or two people.

The prices I've seen were for dealer demos and lightly used C2s. I usually do escrow for anything over $1000 on the net.

I suspect that staying with rear ported Dyns requires finding a good short wall floor plan. If not, then it will be time to think about a transmission line or something designed to boost bass by being tight against the wall.
