My listening room is 12'x 8'x 14' (WxHxD). Is this size too small for the Paradigm Studio 100's to "breathe" properly? I would like very much to move away from using bookshelf speakers and move into using full-range floor-standing speakers for the main left & right channels (and maybe rears as well). I am developing a greater interest in listening to music in my home whereas 99% of the time, I've been watching movies. I've always had Paradigm speakers, and I regard them very well. So for anyone with experience/advice, can the Studio 100's perform well in a room this size (enclosed; i.e. no openings into other areas of the house)?
Follow Ups:
That should be fine for those speakers. The real trick is to give them some room, so get them 4-5 feet from the rear wall and 3-4
feet from the sides.
I agree with tuneman. I'm pretty sure the room is too small. My room is 12 by 13 with one set of French doors to the side ( I generally leave open). I use the 60v2's, you might try them or the 40s or even the 20s. Why spend more money then you need to?
While the Studio 100's need a larger room than other speakers, you need not place them in a huge room for them to sound good. I sit roughly 8 feet away from my 100's for most of my listening and I have never got the sense that they were overpowering the room. I move back about 4 feet when I crank the volume up and I feel the low bass notes more so then when I am closer to them.
