Devore 0/96 and Room Size

I think you will be just fine my friend @mcslipp had a pair of O/96's in a pretty small room, wider than it was deep and they sounded great.

That should be an easy fix if the bass is a little heavy you can do some of your own custom sound treatments. I like using a 5 X 9 through rug and carpet tack strips to attach it to the rear wall. Still a little heavy put some of a foam mattress behind it. 

The rug can be a very nice decoration to that room and quite down the reflections. 

Have used this for number of speakers

Cheap fix. 

I resisted chiming in. Until now. You need a larger room. Or go with O/93's though they do not sound the same. The O/93's are arguably the better balanced speaker while the '96's are more fun, more lively, more likely to make you start shaking your head or butt or both. If I thought there was some chance I would be moving in the future to a house with a larger listening room I would go with the '96's. 

Thanks everyone! I think the room is marginal. It could be large enough, but maybe not. I think it’s a great idea to talk with John Devore, since it sounds like he wouldn’t mind. If anybody should know…

I don't have the O/96 but auditioned them a lot.  My room is 15' x 13' with a large room opening in to a hallway.  I've had a number of big floor standing speakers in there, but the O/96 is one of the few that had me wondering if they'd work in my room.  They are pretty rich in the bass and definitely need space from the back wall.
