reggy,
The BeAT would likely be better in a smaller room than the Encore. I'd say that the Encore's bass might be too overpowering in a smaller room. I've got a fairly open room and I feel the bass from the Encores. In my experience, I haven't been afforded the luxury of a large listening room (and neither do most of my audio friends) so the BeAT would excel in those rooms.
