My music room is 10 x 15 and I sit 12 feet away from my speakers. I see these Von Schweikerts vr-4 jr mk2 model on Agon. Great price, great reviews, but huge speakers. Is my room too small for these and if so how large can I go?
A buddy has Avalon Eidelons in a 10' x 9' room. The equipment sits between and back of speakers. He has exacted an incredibly musical sound in this most unconventional space...like having superb headphones.
Long wall placement would be my suggestion as well. As mentioned previously the Audio Physics speaker placement method works very well, even with other brands of speakers. I used this method with a pair of Spendor speakers with great success. Don't be afraid to put your listening chair within a few feet of the rear wall. As mentioned, just make sure you have some thick absorption panels on that wall.
My room measures 11.5 by 14 and I sit very nearfield ( 54 in.) For the most part this works for me. Velodyne DDs' in stereo have helped a lot but have required a lot of work. POI small rooms pressurize ( as opposed to unfold wavelength) at a higher freq. So I guess my solution is small monitors worn as headphones sitting on subs.
