JohnK,
Yes, I know my 12X12 room is less than ideal, in particular for larger speaker designs.
It is very much a nearfield listening environment, I would say.
That's why I have a pair of small (Dynaudio Contour 1.3mkII) monitors in there currently. They have some needed room to breathe as set up and perform very well in there though certainly more room would be better.
Khorns would work physically. Sonically? Maybe. Almost certainly not the BEST environment to bring out the best.
I've also had a pair of B&W P6s, Magnepan MG 1.3c's, and Triangle Titus in there in the past. The Titus' did well but the B&Ws and Maggies did much better in other, larger rooms. I consider the (much more expensive) Dynaudio monitors an upgrade over the Triangle monitors mostly in terms of satisfying bottom end, though the sound of each otherwise is still quite distinctive.
Meanwhile I'll see if I can convince my wife to move so I can have a better room for a pair of Khorns but will not hold my breath......
