Good evening: I spent the better part of the day trying different things. I removed the Focal Aria 948's from the room in question. I had an older pair of boxed stand a mount JBL Studio monitors 530 (book shelf) speakers. $600 bucks a few years ago. For the money, they are a GREAT bargain. Combine them with a good SUB, in a small area and you have a nice system. Which is what I found out today. WOW!!! The folks that commented on the room were spot on, and the one's that stated the 948's wee too much, were spot on. The smaller stand a mount was perfect. I will start to look for a much better book shelf in the next few days. Electronics in the near future. Hard to believe the difference. Absolutely, too much speaker for the room. Also, tried the Focal's in my main area, sounded very good in a larger area, but, for rock and roll, I preferred my Tektons.Will be selling the Focal's very soon,probably through the MUSIC ROOM. They have been very good to me in the
past. Any one interested, please let me know. They are PRISTINE!!!! Make me a reasonable offer. Hey, Thanks everyone that tried to help, MUCH appreciated. Now will start looking for a very good bookshelf. Robert
