Branislav, I would say that my 3000's are strong enough to energize my space, but maybe more on the upper end of that scale. I know the 2000 was too small and wouldn't give the bass needed, it did sound very good though with respectable bass in the mid/upper 40's I would guess.
My space is roughly 4000 cu. feet, and the 3000 information shows a range of 2400-5400 cu. feet that they would work well in. But I am sure that if all the doors to adjacent rooms off my hallways etc. aren't closed/sealed, there is a fudge factor there. It is not like having a dedicated room that can be totally closed up when listening. I am sure others with much more experience in this issue would have more to say regarding this.
Also, I haven't figured up the exact cabinet volume/porting between the new 3000 cabinet and my old 3XO cabinet, guessing quickly, I would say they are very close so the output should be similar.
The thing is, you can't make more bass(unless you add subs, of course, and I do not have the space/option for subs), but there are ways to deal with a little too much, not that too much is a fun thing to deal with either.
I also do not know how much break-in affects this overall figure, I know my 3000's are just in the beginning phase of that, so they will more than likely open up a bit more as time goes on.
Again, I am sure John at Ohm can help you in this regard, as well as input from others much more knowledgeable than me in this respect. At this point, I can say more than likely, the 3000's will be right for the area I currently have them in.
Last night I had a couple of hours to listen and I had a ball. Joni Mitchell, Marc Cohn and David Sanborn/Bob James were all sounding very good in the room last night! I am sure things will only get better! Tim
