I was just over at the home inspection today and think I can make the DA-1.1's work in the space--so Michael you can relax! I do feel that the DA-RMa's may end up being a better fit and will discuss this with Lou. My preference is to stay within the Daedalus line so I'll bring my DA-1.1's over and see how they work and then take it from there. I'm thinking the aperiodic vent, which does not emit much backwave through the ports, will allow me to back them up to the wall fairly close. I will undoubtedly lose some soundstage depth but this would only be temporary until we build the man cave in what is now the garage area. Then I'll have a hell of a listening room!
