Line, yes I could try the OHM 5s along the longer wall but the L shaped room is only 12' wide or so the the area where I listen.
I elected to place the OHM 5s where they are baically to keep them out of the way of the area where most activity takes place and leverage the acoustics of short section of the L shaped room to give them more room to breathe. Firing into the long section this way delivers concert like sound all the way back through the narrow portion, which is where listening and most other activity occurs in this basement level family room. It works out well in that I can chose closer or farther away listening perspective as I please. The bass levels are actually very good, just not enough to literally shake the rafters as used to be achievable with the right source music and my prior 360w/ch Carver m4.0t amp. That amp however was not a high current design and not efficient into 4 ohms, so the bass levels and overall balance suffered at more modest common listening levels. The MF A3CR is a much better fit to my listening habits overall and the sound in my system is very defined, holographic, and well balanced top to bottom
, just not the nth degree that might be possible with a monster high current amp that is also efficient into lower speaker impedances as is seemingly found with the OHM 5s at
lower frequencies.
