dynuaudio c-1s in a small 10x12 room?/amppower?

Drubin, I did a search on Pwfletcher and found his closet. I didn't read thru all the posts, but I wonder if anyone told him the speakers were too close to the back wall or the room was too small? lol

Ben77059, do not count me to the "consensus". I wrote (see above) that my room measures 12 x 16,7 and I'm quite pleased with the sound of C1s.

I agree with Amater -- you don't need a big room for these speakers. The C1s will sound best when placed away from side and back walls, but so will every other ported speaker. And yet most people seem to put their speakers right against the wall behind them, in the corners and with a big audio rack in between.

My room is 22' x 14' x 8', so I can bring my C1s out into the room where they sound best (about 3' from side walls, 4' from rear wall and 9' from listener). But I had them in a smaller room before and they sounded great there too.

Amater, thanks. It seems every time I find a speaker I really want to try, I find lots of posts about why it won't work for me.

A few months ago there was a pair of Harbeth SHL-5's for sale locally and the "consensus" was they would not sound good with the Bryston gear. I thought about it too long and they were sold.

The C1's seem to have a pretty good resale value, so if I can buy them for a good price, I should be able to sell them if I don't like them. I have a feeling I won't won't be selling them.

On another note, I have read some great reviews on the Volent Paragon VL-2 speakers. Anyone have or heard these?
