I am indecisive about choice due to room size


Hi all,

My stereo room is 12x12 and already have the Sonus Faber V speakers and love them. I'm looking at upgrading to the VIII, but don't know if I have enough room. I'm running these with the Naim Star, NAS and use Nordost Frey 2 speaker cable and power cord. Also, am looking at trading my Star in for the Lumin T2 streamer and the new Levinson 5805 integrated. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Best regards.

Had a friend who worked at Stereo 
Exchange in New York . He once told me being able to have any system he desire , that the most important thing in a Audio System setup was Acoustics . Work on the acoustics of any particular room then worry about the hardware . That up to 70% of what you hear in a particular system is the sound of the room .The good thing of working your room is you do it only once . You can upgrade this or that of your system but what you did for the acoustics of the room never changes . Take care and be safe .

Absolutely!! Until you treat it, you can't hear anything. 
What I think happens is that over a long period of time, Audiophiles learn to hear past the room acoustics, but it's like watching a movie in a smoke filled room. 

I can also say that I've gone through a lot of hardware, but I've NEVER played merry go round with my room acoustics.  I've only added more pieces.

Test for you.  Sit 2' from your speakers and listen to them.  The difference between that and your chair is room acoustics.
