Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I was gonna say :-)

Thanks for the suggestions (some of which I've adopted in the past), but I think I've got a pretty good fix on the room and where the speakers work best, at least according to a lot of people who have listened to them here. Me too.

Behind the listening sofa, which accommodates six and is about half-way back in the 40' length, there is an alcove off to the left that is another 30' deep and averages 15' wide. I violate one of the basic premises by having a 250 lb. low coffee table between me and the slightly toed speakers. It's not going anywhere. The entire space is carpeted and there's a lot of art on the walls, plus a 6 x 9' equipment rack behind the speakers. "Formal" room treatments are confined to a few Room Tunes. The system sounds its absolute best with no more then three people present. More than that and they become human "Tube Traps" soaking up the natural ambiance.

And yes, the SET amps put out just 12 wpc and I have never wished for more power.
