General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Room too small for full range

If you have flexibility in setting up the room to your liking, you can get excellent sound from the speakers you mention. Sure they'd like a bigger room, but so would most large speakers. The goal isn't to get the speaker whose capability is max'd out in your room - the goal is to get the speaker that will sound the best in your room, even if it has the potential to sound better in a bigger room.

Consider, by way of example, a grand piano. Sure, maybe it sounds best in a medium-sized jazz club or recital hall. But it would still sound better than a little upright piano in your 14 X 17 room!

As long as you can follow a few basic rules of speaker set-up to get smooth bass and eliminate strong, distinct early reflections (preferably with diffusion rather than absorption), I think you can pretty much pick whatever speakers make the magic happen for you.

Best of luck with your quest!
