Dynaudio Audience 72 vs. 72SE

What's different?
Are these speakers sufficietnt for a room about 12x17ft?
I am using Onkyo TX-NR801.

I'm not familiar with the audience except I had some loaner 42's. They are out of production but found this on Dyn's web site. http://www.dynaudio.com/eng/systems/lines/audience/72se.php Either should be just fine for your room.

That woofer is capable of more subtle sound and detail but will "bottom out" at very high power with a scary "Wackk" sound. As long as you don't drive it way too hard with a powerfull amp like Bryston no issues. This is based on my experience with a Contour 1.8 Mark II. Never had this issue with both my Audience speakers (50 and 52's). The SE may also have an upgraded cross over for improved sound but in the standard 72 enclosure.
