Vandersteen 5A Speakers

Hello
I currently have a pair of Vandersteen 3A Signatures with a Wadia 381 up front, a Pass X250.5 amp and a Rel B-3 Sub. I am thinking about up-grading to the 5A speakers.

My question is do you think I can get the 5A's to sound proper in a 12 X 16 X 8 foot room???

As of now the 3A's sound fine. I just got the up grade bug and I realy like the Vandersteen sound.

Thanks
russb

Larry, you should know as well as anybody, that speakers like the Vandy's will need a minimum of space between the listener and the speakers for proper driver integration.

Larry, I too prefer a near field listening position. I currently sit a little over 9' from my speakers, though if the room allowed I would sit perhaps as much as another foot away. I was just concerned that some might take the "...I can put my chair where ever I want when litening {sic} time is available." , as an appropriate strategy for use with the Vandersteens.
