in my opinion, the power requirements for 12s and 1.6s seem similar. Seems to be a big jump to the 3.6s though.
I have a 16x20 room and the 1.6s should fit just fine. I seem to not have a problem with the speakers only 3.5 ft from the back wall and 4 ft from the sides. Seem to be very forgiving, despite claims to the contrary on this site and elsewhere. ??? I have to say I miss the bass with the 12s even though I don't listen to thumping kinda music. I would have bought a REL sub with any speakers, after hearing the difference. And crossed over at only 28 Hz. Go figure; there just seems to be lower harmonics in a lot of music that is very enjoyable to just barely notice.

I am bucking the trend here and using black cloth with cherry. Silly, but I am going to build the entertainment center out of cherry to match. With 1.6s in front, CC1 (black) on TV, 12s (black) in rear, there will be no awards from Architectural Digest won here. But I just love the monolith look. Tim Allen would say ough, ough, ough!!!
