Egads - Changing rooms for the worse...

So, just when I thought I had a system I love, despite some minor tweaks, I've decided to move in with my girlfriend. My system is on the virtual systems (click system next to my name below). Sadly, the only available room to install my system is a 8x14 room with a low 9' ceiling. This is a HUGE change, as I have Revel Studios in a large room, and this room is quite small (in my opinion). I'm looking for help on:

1) Will the Revels work in a room of this size?
2) What should I do to improve system performance once I move in?

I'm open to trying something new and different, even small tubed monoblocks and new speakers.

Thanks!

Nice advice guys...I love it all. Its definitely tough, however, you must trust your ears...Naw, just kidding, if the woman is worth it...well, what can you do but compromise, right? And apparently she is worth it...so, keep the system in the small room, it'll be fine..especially if you can keep others out and have it all to yourself, that's more important than having it the large room and finding that you don't have the quality time to sit an listen...
good luck

That room (8&9')should give you a nice little boost in the 60-70 hz region.

They say love is blind.

Maybe it's deaf too.

Have you considered hanging them upside down from the ceiling?

Let us know.

Just one more piece of advice coming from my experience with my wife. She had two cats and when we got married she never told me that one of the cats loved to bite cables. Well, $1000 dollars later after chewing through my interconnect I learned the hard way. I had to finally make socks to put around all my speaker cables and interconnects so it wouldn't happen again. Good luck to you and I hope she's worth it. I lived in Hermosa where there was a lot of good looks lacking brains to support them.
