In a small, 12x15, room.In case you're wondering about boominess, people ask if I have the subs on. I just smile.(ignore the 8"'rs on top of the subs, those are TV speakers)The only thing that keeps me from having more subwoofers to smooth bass response is the small room size. I'd like to have a total of 5.
John, I'm sure your B&Ws have great sound but for me, nothing does treble like horns and the 15" JBL 2226s have such low distortion the mid-range is just pure tone and texture.
Somewhere there's an AES paper cited by Wayne Parham that horns and bass reflex combination 2 ways only need 3 feet to present a unified soundwave. Small rooms will do, keeping in mins they present their own unique set of problem interactions that need to be overcome. The most important, and most overlooked component in this hobby is the room.
