Hi Mike,
I used 12" Monitor Golds in Altec Lansing Santana cabs for 38 years, always small rooms. Alnico and pepperpot waveguide tweeters. A couple of years ago my wife died and I was able to put my system in the larger living room. I bought a pair of
SRM 15X Tannoy monitors, no alnico. Fine for rock, but I really missed the alnico for classical. I bought Canterbury SE's about a year ago. They load my room beautifully and are very revealing of detail and nuance. Breakin may take 20 to 100 hours, and then the musicality is very compelling. Good luck!
Doug
