Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms

Duke my add would be
amp + speaker + room +ear/brain = system

Very well said!!  

By the way I’ve yet to hear a pair of the Larsens, but their innovative approach makes a lot of sense to me.

and this goes back to something else I've noticed. I simply cannot ignore a room.

I can ignore the air conditioner more easily.

Those audiophiles who can hear the nuance of equipment in a bad room, you are amazing, because I can barely listen.

Smaller is often better with speakers in rooms with bad acoustics.

My wife's sunroom is pretty bad.   I've tried a lot of speakers in there but the tiny  Vanatoo Transparent 1 Encore speakers on Isoacoustic stands in there really shine.  I think the built in signal processing helps.
