I would love to, but it's also the Lounge & Dining room.

Hi there!
What with two large bookshelves and the two TL subs (once built) in the front corners, there isn't any room for even just two corner bass traps.
That's with two sealed push-pull subs under each QUAD 63.
But 4 spaced subs should give me some smoothness. As I hope will the two large tall bookcases 2/3rds filled, with random spaces.
Here's a q'n for you? I have two stereo SS power amps, known to be unconditionally stable into 'stats. One is a Fostex 300 - 150watts pc/4 ohms continuous and the other is a Perreaux 6000C - 380 wpc/8. This is the one my techie wants me to use into the QUADs. He knows stats well.
But, IF I used the Fostex 300 on the QUADs (1st order passive-line-level HP at 150Hz) I could then use the Perreaux for the two sealed P-P subs, and a rebuilt HK 870 for the two TLs. This would give me a good deal more headroom into the sealed subs, which are going to be Eq'd.
I also have two modified LEAK ST20s to use - strapped in mono Pentode mode - giving 40WPC off a virtual 2-ohm tap - for Winter use only into the QUADs.
Your thoughts?!
TIA
