I have a smaller room than yours and am running Fritz Rev7 SEs. They have a similar size footprint, woofer, frequency response, as well as being rear ported. I know it’s not the same speaker but I do not think you will overload the room with bass. My room is not. I’ve even added two subs to my setup and it still doesn’t overload the room. I have some decent treatment though. I think you will be fine. You can also plug the rear port if you like and see what that does. I plugged mine with some memory foam inserts I made myself. Good amplification with a good damping factor would help bring you nice tight bass.
Overkill for small room
Hello all - long time lurker, first time poster. I've enjoyed reading so many of these posts, and I feel like I'm learning so much from you guys. Thank you for that.
I am strongly considering a pair of Dynaudio 20i - I am aware they require serious amplification - but I suspect that they'll be too much for a small room
Room specs: (11 wide by 14 long, normal ceiling height with acoustical tile, carpet tile covering one entire wall, wall-to-wall carpet on top of cement slab, no basement).
Am I nuts?
Thank you in advance.
