Is my room too small

Thanks for all the advice. I listened to some B and W's and some Aeriels last week end. Aeriels sound great and not too big. I'm going to Von Schweikerts this Saturday to listen to VR 33's then make a choice.

You might want to try some Green Mountains before you finalise your decision.

I agree with some comments that room treatments do help when a considerably large speaker is placed in a relatively small room. However, there are still limitations as some speakers will perform better if they are placed out from wall boundaries. I'm not too sure about VR4 Jr whether they are able to fit into a width of 10 ft. In my experience most conventional box speakers require a minimum space of 2'(clear distance) from side walls in order to sound acceptable. One method to ameliorate the ill-effects of close placement to wall boundaries is to listen in nearfield configuration as suggested by Soulbrass and Elizabeth in the event one experiences bass issues or a collapse in soundstage (when the speakers are placed very close to wall boundaries).

Good luck.
